Isaiah 30:23 - Exposition

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal ; rather, then shall he give rain for thy seed , wherewith thou sowest the ground . God, having forgiven his people, will once more renew the blessings of his ordinary providence, giving them "rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling their hearts with food and gladness" ( Acts 14:17 ). Bread of the increase of the earth ; rather, bread , the produce of the ground ; i.e. ordinary bread, not "bread from heaven," like the manna in the wilderness. Fat and plenteous ; literally, rich and fat . Thy cattle. To complete the general prosperity, there should be plentiful pasture for the flocks and herds.
