“Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,”
Yet God responds to their need: "Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven." Despite the people's faithlessness, God still hears their cries and provides. The opening of heaven's doors is an archaic image suggesting the cosmic source of provision; the verse illustrates that God's mercy continues even when Israel's faith fails.
