The blessing of continuous harvest is so complete that storage itself becomes a non-issue.
What Does Leviticus 26:10 Mean?
Storage would be filled so continuously that old grain (from previous years) must be eaten and discarded to make space for the new, arriving harvest. This is a blessing of overflowing supply, not scarcity-driven rationing. The old is not preserved; it is consumed to accommodate the surplus.
The image reverses famine logic: instead of carefully hoarding, Israel gives away the old to celebrate the new. Abundance is so assured that past years' storage is disposable.
