SCRIPTURE

"And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety." — Leviticus 25:19 (ASV)

And the land shall yield her fruit That is, continually, and even in the seventh year, the sabbath of rest; for the land, though not manured, ploughed, and sowed, nor the vines, olives, and fig trees pruned, yet shall yield fruit as in other years, the Israelites observing the statutes and judgments of God.

and you shall eat your fill ; feel no want of provisions, but have fulness of everything as at other times, and never make a scanty meal, having sufficiency and plenty of all things.

and dwell therein in safety ; not fearing enemies, nor being disturbed by them, nor carried captive.
