Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) For the earth.--Rather, For land which has drunk in. Land which not only receives but also drinks in abundance of rain (Deuteronomy 11:11), in such a climate as is here thought of, must either "bring forth herbage" or be condemned as irretrievably barren.By whom it is dressed.--Rather, for whom it is also tilled. This clause is added to show that nothing is wanting on the part of the owner or of the tillers of the land.Receiveth blessing from God.--Receives as a reward a share in the blessing which God pronounces on the fruitful earth, resulting in increased fertility (Genesis 27:27; Genesis 49:25; Deuteronomy 33:13).
