That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
Then I will send rain to your land at the right times - the early rain and the late rain - so you can harvest your grain, your wine, and your olive oil.
God is promising to provide the seasonal rains needed for successful crops and abundant harvests.
📚 Historical Context

He highlights how God will provide seasonal rains essential for their agriculture, contrasting this with the reliable Nile in Egypt that the Israelites had left behind. This promise underscores the dependence of the Israelites on God's provision in a land where farming relied heavily on timely rainfall.
