Hag 1:11 | TNotes | STEP | 1:11 I have called for a drought: The people failed to recognize their plight as a divine judgment on their misplaced priorities, so Haggai interpreted the situation in light of the curses attached to the covenant (Deut 28:15-68 , especially vv 22-24 , 38-40 ). • Drought (Hebrew khoreb ) is a wordplay on “ruins” (Hag 1:4 , 9 ; Hebrew khareb )—Judah’s experiences corresponded with the condition in which they had left the Lord’s Temple.
