Text, in Hebrew, from Deuteronomy XI:14-15.
In Jewish liturgy, part of the text following the “Shemah Yisrael” proclamation of faith, recited morning and night. Composer’s translation:
I will give the rain of your land in its season, the first-rain and the concluding-rain, and you will harvest your grain and your wine and your oil. I will give grass in your fields for your cattle; you will eat and be satiated.
