Leviticus 26:10 Summary
[Leviticus 26:10 tells us that God wants to bless us so much that we'll still be enjoying last year's blessings when this year's blessings arrive, showing us His abundance and care for our needs. This is like when God promised to give us everything we need, as it says in Philippians 4:19. It reminds us to trust in God's goodness and provision, just like the Israelites were supposed to do. By looking at this verse, we can see that God's blessings are not just for a select few, but for all who trust in Him, as seen in the promise to be our God and we His people, in 2 Corinthians 6:16.]

Can this promise apply to believers today?
While the specific context of Leviticus 26:10 is addressed to the Israelites, the principle of God's abundance and provision can apply to believers today, as seen in Philippians 4:19, where it is written that God will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 26:10
And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. Ye shall eat old store. Their stock of old grain would be still unexhausted and large when the next harvest brought a new supply.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 26:10

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 26:10
(10) And ye shall eat old store.—Better, old store which hath become old. Though they will thus multiply, there shall be abundant stores for them, which become old because it will take them so long to consume them. And bring forth the old because of the new.—Better, and remove the old on account of the new, that is, they will always have such abundant harvests that they will be obliged to remove from the barns and garners the old stock of corn, in order to make room for the new.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 26:10
