You will still be eating last year's harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new. The abundance of the covenant blessing is so great that the new harvest's arrival requires clearing out the previous year's stored food. The granary that is full of last year's food when the new harvest arrives is the material expression of the continuous-harvest blessing of verse 5: the community never empties its stores before the next abundance arrives. The practical picture of grain management in abundance communicates the real, material character of the covenant blessings.
