What Does Deuteronomy 28:18 Mean?
Children, crops, and livestock—the three sources of generative wealth—are all cursed. Fertility itself is withdrawn. Families do not grow; fields do not yield; herds do not multiply. This is reversal at the most fundamental level.
The curse reaches into the creative, generative capacities of the nation. Rather than abundance, the people experience sterility and loss.
