“Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider it.”
Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider—the date-marking establishes the precise moment of temple-foundation as the threshold of blessing. From this moment onward, divine blessing reverses preceding judgment. The reiteration of 'consider' emphasizes that the community must consciously recognize the causal relationship between covenant obedience and divine blessing.
