אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר לְא בְמִסְכֵּנֻת תּאֹכַל בָּהּ לֶחֶם לְא תֶחְסַר כֹּל בָּהּ וגו' (ח, י)
A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, you will lack nothing… (8:9)
Sefer Degel Machane Efraim explains that this pasuk is teaching us that emunah and bitachon can open the gates of parnassah. This concept is seen from the verse (Bereishis 25:5): “And Avrohom gave all (kol) that he had to Yitzchok.” This can be understood to mean that Hashem gave Yitzchok the middah of “kol”, which Hashem had blessed him with (Bereishis 24:1). The Zohar Hakadosh states that the word “kol” refers to emunah. Thus, the Torah is saying that Avrohom gave the middah of emunah to Yitzchok, and by doing so, he gave him everything good in this world.
Accordingly, the pasuk is referring to Eretz Yisroel as a land in which the nation will eat bread without “miskanes” (scarcity). The word “miskanes” can also mean “wisdom” (as in Koheles 9:15). Thus, the verse is saying that one will not need to engage in any planning or scheming to earn a parnassah. The reason one will have parnassah without the need for any planning on his part is because “kol bah” – the middah of “kol”, i.e. emunah, will be the source of this blessing.
