What Are “fields”? (Deuteronomy 11:15)

Question: What does “mavue” mean as mentioned in Deuteronomy 11:15?

Answer: Let’s take a closer look.

Deuteronomy 11:15 (ESV) says:

“I will give the grass of your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be satisfied.”

Fields. A single field is called a “vue,” and multiple fields are called “field”

So when God says, “I will give the grass in your fields,” He means, “I will provide grass in your fields.”

This was a promise God made to the children of Israel, and it is a promise from God for us today as well, if we obey Him.

Let’s start a little earlier in the passage:

Deuteronomy 11:13-15 (ESV)

“And if you faithfully obey the commandments that I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 then I will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and the late rains, that you may gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil.
15 And I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be satisfied.”

This promise is also echoed in other Scriptures, such as 1 Samuel 25:15 and 1 Samuel 30:11.

Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ?

If not, dear friend, know that continuing to live in sin keeps you separated from Him.
