Aggeo 2:16 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 2:16

Since those [days] were
From the time the foundation of the temple was laid, unto the time they began to work again, which was a space of about fifteen or sixteen years: when [one] came to an heap of twenty [measures], there were [but]
ten;
when the husbandman having gathered in his corn, and who was generally a good judge of what it would yield, came to a heap of it on his corn floor, either of sheaves not threshed, or grain not winnowed, and expected it would have produced at least twenty measures, seahs, or bushels; afterward it was threshed and winnowed, to his great disappointment he had but ten out of it; there were so much straw and chaff, and so little grain; or when he came to a heap of grain, wheat, or barley, in his granary, where he thought he should have twenty bushels of it; but when he had measured it, proved but ten; being either stolen by thieves, or eaten by vermin; rather the latter: when [one] came to the wine vat for to draw out fifty [vessels] out
of the press, there were [but] twenty;
by the quantity of grapes which he put into the press to tread and squeeze, he expected to have had fifty measures, or baths, or hogsheads of wine; but, instead of that, had but twenty; the bunches were so thin, or the berries so bad: there was a greater decrease and deficiency in the wine than in the grain.

Aggeo 2:16 In-Context

14 Ed Aggeo rispose, e disse: Così è questo popolo, e così, è questa nazione, nel mio cospetto, dice il Signore; e così è ogni opera delle lor mani; anzi quello stesso che offeriscono quivi è immondo.
15 Or al presente, ponete mente, come, da questo giorno addietro, avanti che fosse posta pietra sopra pietra nel Tempio del Signore;
16 da che le cose sono andate così, altri è venuto ad un mucchio di venti misure, e ve ne sono state sol dieci; altri è venuto al tino per attingere cinquanta barili, e ve ne sono stati sol venti.
17 Io vi ho percossi d’arsura, e di rubigine, e di gragnuola, in tutte le opere delle vostre mani; ma voi non vi siete curati di convertirvi a me, dice il Signore.
18 Ora considerate, avanti questo giorno, che è il ventesimoquarto del nono mese: considerate dal giorno che il Tempio del Signore è stato fondato.
