Hebrews 6:7

For the earth which drinketh in Rather, "For land which has drunk." Land of this kind, blessed and fruitful, resembles true and faithful Christians. The expression that the earth "drinks in" the rain is common (Deuteronomy 11:11). Comp. Virg. Ecl.iii. iii, "sat prata biberunt." For the moral significance of the comparison namely that there is a point at which God's husbandry seems to be rendered finally useless, see Isaiah 5:1-6; Isaiah 5:24.

by whom it is dressed Rather, "for whose sake (propter quos. Tert.) it is also tilled" namely for the sake of the ownersof the land.

blessing Genesis 27:27, "a field which the Lord hath blessed." Psalms 65:10, "Thou blessest the increase of it."
