With it,We caused vineyards and palm-groves to spring up, yielding
abundant fruit for your sustenance.Also a tree which grows on Mount
Sinai and gives oil and relish for the caters.

this ark be blessed.You are the best tomake (us) land.” ’

ThenWe raised after themanother generation and sent forth to them
