For those who harvest the grain
This phrase speaks to the direct blessing and reward of labor. In the Hebrew context, the act of harvesting is often associated with joy and fulfillment. The Hebrew word for "harvest" (קָצִיר, qatsir) implies a time of reaping what has been sown, a season of reward and abundance. Historically, harvest time was a communal celebration in Israel, a time when the community came together to gather the fruits of their labor. This phrase promises that those who work will directly benefit from their efforts, a divine assurance of provision and sustenance.

will eat it
The act of eating what one has harvested signifies satisfaction and the enjoyment of God's provision. In ancient Israel, eating was not merely a physical act but a spiritual one, often accompanied by thanksgiving and acknowledgment of God's blessings. The Hebrew culture placed great importance on meals as times of fellowship and gratitude. This phrase assures the faithful that they will partake in the fruits of their labor, symbolizing God's faithfulness in providing for His people.

and praise the LORD
Praising the LORD is a central theme in the life of a believer. The Hebrew word for "praise" (הָלַל, halal) means to boast or to glorify. This phrase indicates that the act of enjoying the harvest will naturally lead to worship and thanksgiving. It reflects a heart posture that recognizes God as the source of all blessings. Historically, the Israelites would offer praise and sacrifices in the temple as an expression of gratitude for the harvest, acknowledging God's provision and sovereignty.

and those who gather grapes
Grape gathering was a significant agricultural activity in ancient Israel, symbolizing abundance and joy. The Hebrew word for "gather" (אָסַף, asaph) implies collecting or bringing together. Grapes were used to produce wine, a symbol of joy and celebration in the Bible. This phrase highlights the promise of abundance and the joy that comes from God's provision. It also reflects the communal aspect of harvest, where families and communities would come together to gather and celebrate.

will drink the wine
Drinking wine in the biblical context often symbolizes joy, celebration, and divine blessing. Wine was a staple in ancient Israelite culture, used in religious ceremonies and daily life. The act of drinking wine produced from one's own vineyard signifies a deep sense of fulfillment and blessing. This phrase assures the faithful that they will enjoy the fruits of their labor in a tangible and joyful way, reflecting God's abundant provision.

in My holy courts
The phrase "My holy courts" refers to the temple, the dwelling place of God among His people. In the Hebrew context, the temple was the center of worship and the place where God's presence was most intimately experienced. The courts of the temple were where the community gathered to worship and offer sacrifices. This phrase signifies that the enjoyment of God's blessings will be accompanied by worship and fellowship in His presence. It reflects the ultimate purpose of God's provision: to draw His people into closer communion with Him. The promise of enjoying the harvest in God's holy courts underscores the sacredness of everyday blessings and the call to live a life of worship and gratitude.

(9) In the courts of my holiness.--Better, of my sanctuary. The harvest and the vintage festivals are to be kept, as of old, without interruption, the master of the house, with his family and the Levites and the poor (Deuteronomy 14:22-27), eating of the first- fruits "before the Lord."

Verse 9. - Shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. This is not to be understood literally, at any rate, of the whole produce of the laud. What is meant is, that the produce will be consecrated by such festal means as the Law enjoined (Deuteronomy 14:22-27), and that then the remainder will be consumed with due thanks and acknowledgments.
