CASTING BREAD - RABBIT
TRAIL
Cast your bread upon the waters, for after
many days you will find it again.
While this sounds crazy, the husbandman knows he
will see his seed again with an abundant increase.
The casting of bread upon the waters is an
allusion to the oriental custom of casting rice grains on the fields where they
lie submerged beneath the annual inundation of water from the Nile River which brought in
“alluvial” top soil covering the seed. While
the process is slow; it is sure.
When the water recedes the grain springs up.
