This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
6. κλεῖσαι τὸν οὐρανόν. Like Elias.
τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς προφητείας αὐτῶν. Is this term fixed with conscious reference to the three years and six months for which Elias did shut heaven (Luk 4:25; Jam 5:17)? The term was no doubt arrived at by adding the dry interval between the spring and autumn rains to the three years for which both failed, as the regular rains were renewed at Elijah’s prayer at the end of the third year.
στρέφειν αὐτὰ εἰς αἷμα. Like Moses.
