“Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.”
Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce—the cosmic consequence of covenant neglect: creation itself participates in the community's judgment. Withholding dew and agricultural production establishes that the natural order responds to covenant violation. The dependency of human prosperity on divine blessing through covenant fidelity becomes evident.
