What is the relationship of the rainfall cycle to the cycle of grain agriculture in ancient Israel?
-
Rainfall in the winter allows the crops to grow. Winter rains allows for summer crops.
-
Rain before, during and after the planting of grain crops. No rain, no crops. Barley harvest first, wheat harvest around Pentecost.
-
Winter is the time rainfall begins. This is the time water collection begins and the beginning of the grain agricultural cycle.
-
Rainfall is in the winter months and in the summer dewfall waters the crops.
-
The grain cycle is controlled by the rainfall cycle much like it is in modern farming.
