📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land, explaining how God will bless them if they obey His commands. In an agricultural society, having enough grass for cattle meant having milk, meat, and other animal products that were essential for survival. This promise of provision was especially meaningful to people who had wandered in the desert for forty years.
