You will still be eating
This phrase signifies a state of abundance and provision. In the Hebrew context, the verb "eating" (אָכַל, 'akal) often implies not just physical consumption but also enjoyment and satisfaction. The promise here is that God's blessings will be so plentiful that the Israelites will continue to enjoy the fruits of past harvests even as new blessings arrive. This reflects God's faithfulness and the overflowing nature of His provision, encouraging believers to trust in His timing and abundance.

the old supply of grain
The "old supply" refers to the previous year's harvest. In ancient agrarian societies, grain was a staple, and having a surplus was a sign of prosperity and divine favor. The Hebrew word for "grain" (דָּגָן, dagan) is often associated with sustenance and life. This phrase underscores the continuity of God's blessings, where the past provisions are still sustaining the people even as new blessings are prepared. It serves as a reminder of God's ongoing care and the importance of gratitude for past blessings.

when you need to clear it out
This phrase indicates a transition from old to new, a necessary clearing to make space for what God is about to provide. The act of clearing out (פָּנָה, panah) suggests preparation and readiness to receive new blessings. It implies a proactive faith, where believers are called to make room in their lives for God's continued work. This can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual renewal, where old habits or past experiences are set aside to embrace new growth and opportunities.

to make room for the new
The "new" represents fresh blessings and opportunities. In the Hebrew context, "new" (חָדָשׁ, chadash) often signifies renewal and transformation. This phrase highlights the dynamic nature of God's provision, where He continually brings forth newness and revitalization. It encourages believers to anticipate God's future work with hope and excitement, trusting that He will provide abundantly beyond what has already been received. This reflects a forward-looking faith, always expecting God's best in the days to come.

(10) And ye shall eat old store.--Better, old store which hath become old. Though they will thus multiply, there shall be abundant stores for them, which become old because it will take them so long to consume them.

And bring forth the old because of the new.--Better, and remove the old on account of the new, that is, they will always have such abundant harvests that they will be obliged to remove from the barns and garners the old stock of corn, in order to make room for the new.

Verse 10. - Ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. The provisions of the past year would be so abundant that they would have to be removed to make place for the new stores.
