34. 1. That is, by reviving the dead land, We not only grow grain for their sustenance, but also abundantly produce various kinds of fruits for their enjoyment and pleasure. Here, only two fruits are mentioned because they are highly beneficial and also favored by the Arabs, and their production is also greater in Arabia. Then, grain is mentioned first because its production is greater and its importance as food is also well established.
