how blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream, and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.

Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.

the Lord will greatly bless his people. Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely.

Sell your grain in the market overseas. After a while you might earn something from it.

The Lord will send rain on the seeds you plant in the ground. The crops that grow will be rich and plentiful. At that time your cattle will eat grass in rolling meadows.The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat the finest feed and crushed grain. The farmers will use pitchforks and shovels to separate it from the straw.

I planted the seed. Apollos watered it. But God has been making it grow.

But many who heard the message believed. The number of men who believed grew to about 5,000.

The waters of the Nile River will dry up. The bottom of it will be cracked and dry.Its canals will stink. And the streams of Egypt will get smaller and smaller until they dry up. The tall grass that grows along the river will dry up.So will the plants along the banks of the Nile. Even the planted fields along the Nile will dry up. Everything that grows there will blow away and disappear.

Here is what is written in the Law of Moses.“ Do not stop an ox from eating while it helps separate the grain from the straw.”( Deuteronomy 25:4) Is it oxen that God is concerned about?Doesn’t he say that for us? Yes, it was written for us. Whoever plows and separates the grain hopes to share the harvest. And it is right for them to hope for this.We have planted spiritual seed among you. Is it too much to ask that we receive from you some things we need?

More and more men and women believed in the Lord. They joined the other believers.

Those who accepted his message were baptized. About 3,000 people joined the believers that day.

The rain and the snow come down from the sky. They do not return to it without watering the earth. They make plants come up and grow. The plants produce seeds for farmers. They also produce food for people to eat.The words I speak are like that. They will not return to me without producing results. They will accomplish what I want them to. They will do exactly what I sent them to do.

Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.
