GENESIS 26:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
Gen 26:11Gen 26:13
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. The agricultural abundance is the covenant blessing made visible in the promised land: a hundredfold return in a famine year. Luke 8:8 records the parable of the sower's hundredfold return as an image of the kingdom's fruitfulness. The application: the blessing of the LORD on the covenant person's work in the right place exceeds all reasonable expectation. A hundredfold return in a famine year is not agricultural achievement; it is covenant provision.
