“A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.”
A land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills — material sufficiency is promised, yet phrased in terms that invite paradox: even the earth itself yields wealth and resource. The mention of iron and copper points to tools for cultivation, suggesting that abundance comes through human labor enabled by divine gift.
