What was the difference for the Israelites between living in Egypt with a consistent source of water and living in the promised land where they would have to depend on rainfall?

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.

Winter months is rainy season, that’s when the water is collected in preparation for the growing season.

The winter season is the time when the ground water recharges and when the grain fields are plowed and planted and the grain matures in the field and the summer wind helps blow the chaff downward and away from the grain that you will collect.
