yield, produce, what is brought forth (seasonally)
This poetic term appears in Moses' blessing, describing the 'yield of the moons'—crops that ripen according to lunar cycles. The word emphasizes what is brought forth or thrust out, as plants produce fruit in their seasons. Paired with 'produce of the sun,' this creates a poetic parallel: the solar year and lunar months together govern the agricultural calendar, and God grants fertility according to these heaven-regulated rhythms.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Deuteronomy 33:14 blesses Joseph's land with 'the yield of the moons,' parallel to 'the produce of the sun.' The term captures seasonal productivity governed by lunar cycles—crops ripening month by month through the year. Ancient agriculture closely tracked both solar seasons and lunar months. The multilingual 'yield of' and 'producido de' both emphasize the bringing forth of crops. This poetic blessing promises that Joseph's territory will produce abundantly according to heaven's appointed times, fertility synchronized with celestial rhythms. 1×
