PRICE OF PROSPERITY

"Like your days will be your influx" (Devarim 33:25).

As long as your days are good ones in which you do the will of Hashem, you will enjoy an influx of prosperity; all lands will cause their gold and silver to flow to Eretz Yisrael. That is, Eretz Yisrael will be blessed with a bounty of crops for which all the hungry nations will be anxious to pay gold and silver in order to sustain themselves.

Rashi (ibid)
