Verses 26-27 - The farmer's herd would be used as follows: The wool of his lambs was used to make clothing for his family and servants. This principle for households would mean putting money aside for emergencies, such as the replacement of major appliances or similar needs.

This is especially important for businesses that are seasonal in nature, such as tourist services. Grass emerged again when the rainy season began, but reserves could be used in the meantime. "Hay" was made in Israel by leaving cut grasses in the fields to provide forage for livestock during the dry season, and also bundling it for future use.
