Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Then God will send rain for the seeds you plant in the ground, and the harvest will produce abundant bread. The crops will be rich and plentiful. When that day comes, your cattle will graze in wide, spacious pastures.
God is promising a time of incredible abundance and blessing, where crops will flourish and livestock will thrive in plenty.
