In the context of <a href="/leviticus/26.htm">Leviticus 26</a>, God outlines blessings for obedience to His commandments. The Israelites, an agrarian society, relied heavily on their harvests for sustenance. The promise of still eating the old supply indicates a surplus, suggesting that the previous harvest was so bountiful that it lasted until the next. This reflects God's faithfulness and provision, reminiscent of His provision of manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16). It also foreshadows the spiritual abundance found in Christ, who is the Bread of Life (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>).<p><b>when you need to clear it out</b><br>This part of the verse implies a continuous cycle of blessing. The need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new signifies ongoing productivity and prosperity. It suggests that God's blessings are not just one-time events but are continuous and overflowing. This can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual renewal and growth, where old ways and past blessings make way for new experiences and deeper understanding in one's faith journey. It also reflects the principle of stewardship, where the Israelites are called to manage God's blessings wisely.<p><b>to make room for the new.</b><br>The new grain represents fresh provision and the ongoing faithfulness of God. This phrase emphasizes the renewal and the cyclical nature of God's blessings. In a broader biblical context, it can be seen as a type of the new covenant established through Jesus Christ, where the old covenant is fulfilled and surpassed by the new (<a href="/hebrews/8-13.htm">Hebrews 8:13</a>). The concept of making room for the new can also be related to the idea of spiritual renewal and transformation, as believers are called to put off the old self and put on the new self in Christ (<a href="/ephesians/4-22.htm">Ephesians 4:22-24</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Leviticus, who received the laws and commandments from God to instruct the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The primary audience of Leviticus, God's chosen people, who were given these laws to live by as they journeyed to the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where God delivered the laws to Moses, including the blessings and curses found in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/26.htm">Leviticus 26</a>.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, where these blessings would be realized.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/c/covenant.htm">Covenant</a></b><br>The agreement between God and the Israelites, which included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_abundant_provision.htm">God's Abundant Provision</a></b><br>God promises to provide abundantly for His people when they live in obedience to His commands.
