“I will pour water
On the thirsty land.
I will pour streams
On the dry ground.
I will pour my Spirit
Upon your descendants.
My blessing will be
On your offspring.
They shall spring up
Like a green tamarisk,
Like willows by flowing streams.”
Yahweh continues in the first person singular to bless Israel. He was going to pour water on the thirsty land with streams of water on the dry ground so that it would be fruitful. He was going to pour out his Spirit on the descendents of Israel. His blessing would be on all the offspring of Israel. They would spring up like green tamarisk bushes or like willows along a flowing stream. There was nothing but good things ahead for the Israelites because of Yahweh’s blessing.
