A Miraculous 'Sowing'
Commentators explain the metaphor of 'sowing' as a promise of miraculous and abundant restoration. After a period of desolation from judgment, God would divinely repopulate the land with people and livestock. John Calvin notes this highlights that the restoration would not be a human effort but a powerful and undeniable act of God's favor, like a harvest springing from a desert.
