DEUTERONOMY 28:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.”
The LORD will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to provide rain for your land in season and to bless all your undertakings; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow — rain 'in season' ensures agricultural success; Israel becomes a creditor nation ('ve-hilvetha goyim rabim'). Lending implies wealth and power.
