Aggeo 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 1:10

Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew
Or, "therefore over", or "upon you" F1; where should be a stop; that is, because, of your neglect of the house of God; therefore upon you, and upon you only, and not upon other nations, the heaven is restrained from letting down the dew: or, "therefore I am against you" F2; for the above reason, and which the following things show; and sad it is to have God to be an enemy, and against a people! or, "for your sake"; so the Syriac version, to which sense is the Targum,

``therefore for your sins;''
and so Jarchi, "the heaven is stayed from dew"; none descends from it; the Lord, who has the ordering of it, will not suffer it: to have the dew fall upon the earth in the night season is a great blessing; it makes the earth fruitful, revives the corn, plants, and herbs, and causes them to flourish and increase; and to have it restrained is a judgment: and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit;
from bringing forth its increase, which is the consequence of the dew being withheld.

Aggeo 1:10 In-Context

8 Salite al monte, e adducetene del legname, ed edificate questa Casa; ed io mi compiacerò in essa, e mi glorificherò, ha detto il Signore.
9 Voi avete riguardato ad assai, ed ecco, ciò si è ridotto a poco; ed avete menato in casa, ed io ho soffiato sopra. Perchè? dice il Signor degli eserciti. Per la mia Casa, che è deserta; laddove ciascun di voi corre per la sua casa.
10 Perciò, il cielo è stato serrato sopra voi, per non dar rugiada la terra eziandio ha ristretta la sua rendita.
11 Ed io ho chiamata la secchezza sopra la terra, e sopra i monti, e sopra il frumento, e sopra il mosto, e sopra l’olio, e sopra tutto ciò che la terra produce; e sopra gli uomini, e sopra le bestie, e sopra tutta la fatica delle mani.
12 Or Zorobabel, figliuolo di Sealtiel, e Iosua, figliuolo di Iosadac, sommo sacerdote, e tutto il rimanente del popolo, ubbidirono alla voce del Signore Iddio loro, ed alle parole del profeta Aggeo, secondo che il Signore Iddio loro l’avea mandato; e il popolo temette del Signore.
