5<\/strong>. Such shall be the abundant yield of cereals and wine that the ingathering will be continuous from the commencement of harvest till the time arrives for sowing the next crop. Cp. Amo 9:13<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 5<\/span>. Your threshing shall reach unto the vintage<\/B><\/I>] According to Pliny, Hist. Nat.<\/I>, l. xviii., c. 18, the Egyptians reaped their barley six months, and their oats seven months, after seed time; for they sowed all their grain about the end of summer, when the overflowings of the Nile had ceased. It was nearly the same in Judaea: they sowed their corn and barley towards the end of autumn, and about the month of October; and they began their barley-harvest after the passover<\/I>, about the middle of March; and in one month or six weeks after, about pentecost<\/I>, they began that of their wheat. After their wheat-harvest their vintage commenced. Moses here leads the Hebrews to hope, if they continued faithful to God, that between their harvest and vintage, and between their vintage and seed-time, there should be no interval, so great should the abundance be; and these promises would appear to them the more impressive, as they had just now come out of a country where the inhabitants were obliged to remain for nearly three months shut up within their cities, because the Nile had then inundated the whole country. See Calmet<\/I>.<\/P> <\/P> “This is a nervous and beautiful promise of such entire plenty of corn and wine, that before they could have reaped<\/I> and threshed<\/I> out their corn<\/I> the vintage<\/I> should be ready, and before they could have pressed out their wine<\/I> it would be time to sow again<\/I>. The Prophet Amos, Am 9:13<\/span> expresses the same blessing in the same manner: The ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader<\/I> of grapes him who soweth seed<\/I>.” – Dodd.<\/P> <\/p>\n Your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, <\/B>i.e. you shall have so plentiful a harvest, that you shall not be able to thresh out your corn in a little time, but that work will last till the vintage. <\/P> <\/p>\n 5. your threshing shall reach untothe vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time,<\/B>c.The barley harvest in Judea was about the middle of April thewheat harvest about six weeks after, or in the beginning of June.After the harvest came the vintage, and fruit gathering towards thelatter end of July. Moses led the Hebrews to believe that, providedthey were faithful to God, there would be no idle time between theharvest and vintage, so great would be the increase. (See Am9:13<\/span>). This promise would be very animating to a people who hadcome from a country where, for three months, they were pent upwithout being able to walk abroad because the fields were underwater.<\/P><\/p>\n And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time<\/strong>,…. Signifying that there should be such plentiful harvests of barley and wheat, the first of which began in March, as would employ them in threshing them out unto the time of vintage, which may be supposed to, be in the month of July; for on the twenty ninth of Sivan, which was about the middle of June, was the time of the first ripe grapes, as appears, [See comments on Nu 13:20]<\/span>; and that they should have such quantities of grapes on their vines, as would employ them in gathering and pressing them until seedtime, which was usually in October, see Am 9:13<\/span>;<\/p>\n and ye shall eat your bread to the full<\/strong>; which is put for all provisions; and the meaning is, they should have plenty of food, eat full meals, or however, what they ate, whether little or much, should be satisfying and refreshing to them, having it with a divine blessing:<\/p>\n and dwell in your land safely<\/strong>; would have no need to go out of it into other lands for the sake of food, and would be in no danger from enemies invading them and carrying off their substance; plenty without safety would not be so great a blessing as with it, since, though they had it, they might be deprived of it, wherefore security from enemies is promised.<\/p>\n (5) And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage.<\/strong>That is, the corn crop shall be so plentiful that those who shall be employed in threshing about the month of March will not complete it before the vintage, which was about the month of July.<\/p>\n The vintage shall reach unto the sowing time.<\/strong>The wine, again, is to be so abundant that those who shall be engaged in gathering and pressing the grapes will not be able to finish before the sowing time again arrives, which is about the month of October. A similar promise is made by Amos: the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sowed seed (Amo. 9:13<\/span>).<\/p>\n 5<\/strong>. <\/strong> Threshing <\/strong> The cereals of constant mention are wheat and barley, and more rarely rye and millet. Wheat was ripe at the pentecost, called also “the feast of harvest, the first fruits of thy labors.” The fifty days included the period of grain harvest, commencing with the offering of the first sheaf of the barley harvest in the passover, in April, and ending with that of the two first loaves made from the wheat harvest. So abundant would be the harvest that six months, from mid Nisan to mid Tisri, would be occupied in gathering the produce of the soil; first the harvesting and threshing of the grain and then the vintage, <\/em> which would be prolonged till sowing time, about the autumnal equinox. See Amo 9:13<\/span>, note. “The threshing comes between the reaping and the treading of grapes. Reaping is done in April, May, and June, and the vintage is in September and October. Hence the harvest, according to the promise, is to be so abundant that it will take several months to tread out the grain. And here, again, actual experience suggested the language of the prophecy. In very abundant seasons I have seen the threshing actually prolonged until October. Take the three promises together, and they spread over the entire year of the husbandman.” Dr. W.M. Thomson.<\/p>\n Lev 26:5<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> This is a nervous and beautiful promise of such entire plenty of corn and wine, that, before they could have reaped and threshed out their corn, the vintage should be ready; and before they could have pressed out their wine, it would be time to sow again. The prophet Amos, ch. Lev 9:13<\/span> expresses the same blessing in the same manner: The plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed.<\/em> <\/p>\n Secondly, the blessed effects of it in the extent of the mercy from harvest to harvest. Amo 9:13<\/span> . But surely the gracious Reader will not overlook gospel mercies, as veiled under those promised earthly enjoyments. Under the blessed SPIRIT’s influence, since JESUS returned to glory, what a continuation of an harvest of souls is gathered and still gathering to CHRIST? See that promise, Mal 3:10-12<\/span> . Observe, GOD promiseth not only plenty, but peace and enjoyment in the plenty. And the soul who hath found peace in the blood of the cross, will find with it a sweet and holy serenity in all his enjoyments. This heightens joy, and softens sorrow. Eph 1:3<\/span> ; Hos 2:18<\/span> .<\/p>\n Lev 26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.<\/p>\n Ver. 5.

Threshing shall reach unto the vintage, &c. That is, you shall have such plenty of corn, that before you shall have reaped and threshed it out, the vintage will be ready; and before you shall have pressed out your wine it will be time to sow again. Thus they should scarcely have time enough to receive one blessing before another came upon them. A similar promise is made Amo 9:13; The ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed.<\/p>\n And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 5.
