Thematic Bible: Required to be dressed and pruned to increase its fruitfulness


Thematic Bible



You may sow your field for six years, and you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce for six years.

Since he had many cattle both in the Judean foothills and the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many wells. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hills and in the fertile lands.

For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over
and the blossom becomes a ripening grape,
He will cut off the shoots with a pruning knife,
and tear away and remove the branches.
