# Take notice of the ravens, that they do not sow or reap

Another possible meaning is, "Think about how the ravens neither sow nor reap."

# ravens

This refers either to 1) crows, a kind of bird that eats mostly grain, or 2) ravens, a kind of bird that eats the flesh of dead animals. Jesus's audience would have considered the ravens worthless since the Jewish people could not eat these types of birds.

# storeroom ... barn

These are places where food is stored.

# How much more valuable you are than the birds!

This is an exclamation, not a question. Jesus emphasizes the fact that people are much more valuable to God then birds. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclamations]])
