KJV
25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
On a hyper-literal reading, God promises to play some active part in the successful pregnancy of livestock in this passage. Similarly, in Ruth 4:13 God plays some active part in Ruth's conception. Are these verses relevant to how we should understand so-called Theistic Evolution? — compare Theistic Embryology and the chain of verses referenced there.
