Agricultural prosperity is connected with the people’s faithfulness: obedience brings blessing, while idolatry can bring drought. The passage directly connects economic life, agricultural climate, and covenant faithfulness.

Denn das Land, da du hin kommst, ist nicht wie Ägyptenland, davon ihr ausgezogen seid, da du deinen Samen säen und selbst tränken mußtest wie einen Kohlgarten;
Que la tierra a la cual entras para poseerla, no es como la tierra de Egipto de donde habéis salido, donde sembrabas tu simiente, y regabas con tu pie, como huerto de hortaliza.
Porque la tierra adonde vas para poseerla no es como la tierra de Egipto, de donde salieron, donde sembrabas tu semilla y regabas con tu pie, como un huerto de hortalizas.
Car le pays dont tu vas entrer en possession, n'est pas comme le pays d'Egypte, d'où vous êtes sortis, où tu jetais dans les champs ta semence et les arrosais avec ton pied comme un jardin potager.
Perciocchè il paese, nel qual tu entri per possederlo, non è come il paese di Egitto, onde voi siete usciti: dove, avendo seminata la tua semenza, tu l’adacquavi col piè come un orto da erbe.
Porque a terra que passas a possuir não é como a terra do Egito, de onde saíste, em que semeavas a tua semente, e a regavas com o teu pé, como a uma horta.
你要進去得為業的那地,不像你出來的 埃及 地。在 埃及 ,你撒種後,要用腳澆灌,像澆灌菜園一樣。
