I shared this with my study group today but I also want to share it here.
There are so many scriptures that hid nuggets in them about the timing of the land, this is one of many.
The end of Job 38 and 39 give a beautiful description of the changing season from dry and dead to The Time of Life here in Israel which is green and alive.
This is my translation from Hebrew to English as I can also ‘see’ from my experience exactly what is being said
Elohim speaking to Job in covenant language (btw)
Job 38:36-41 who can number the clouds in wisdom or who can tip the bottles of rain in the heavens when the dust grows into hardness and the dirt clots cleave fast together as hard as stone?
(this is now in Israel our clay dirt clots are like stones from lack of rain)
Will you hunt the prey for the lion or fill the appetite of the young lion when they crouch in their den or lie in wait in their lairs?
Who provides food to the raven when it’s young ones cry to God and wander about without food.
(I actually raised a young raven here in Israel that walked up to my husband and cried for food, seriously.)
39:1-4
Do you know the time the ibex of the rock gives birth? Do you guard the calving of the deer? Can you count the month they carry their offspring or do you know the time they will bear?
They kneel, they break forth, they birth, they send out their twisted cord. Their youngs ones are strong and healthy there are great numbers in the wheat (or grain). They leave and don’t return
