What Does Deuteronomy 28:62 Mean?
Israel was promised descendants numerous as the stars. This promise of multiplication is inverted: the people dwindle from a multitude to a small remnant. The cause is clear: refusing to obey God's voice. Population loss results directly from covenant-breaking.
The contrast between promised abundance and experienced devastation is complete. Instead of multiplication, there is diminishment.
