“And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.”
I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute. The provider's explicit commitment — I will provide for you — is the covenant promise of continued provision for the five years remaining. The application: the person positioned by God to provide makes the commitment explicit: I will provide. The uncertainty of the next five years is addressed by the certainty of the promise.
