“Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.”
When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty—the recollection of pre-reconstruction scarcity underscores the economic blessing that will accompany completed covenant obedience. The specific enumeration (twenty reduced to ten, fifty to twenty) emphasizes the frustration-pattern earlier described.
