A tak za siódmym razem rzekł ku niemu: Oto maluczki obłoczek jako dłoń człowiecza występuje z morza. Tedy on rzekł: Idź a powiedz Achabowi, aby zaprzągł, a ujeżdżał, aby go deszcz nie zastał.
Za siódmym razem sługa doniósł: Widzę! Chmurka, mała jak ludzka dłoń, podnosi się z morza! Ruszaj zatem! - rozkazał mu Eliasz. - Powiedz Achabowi: Zaprzęgaj i jedź w dół, aby nie zatrzymał cię deszcz!
A za siódmym razem powiedział: Oto właśnie wychodzi z morza mała chmurka, jakby ludzka dłoń. Zatem powiedział: Idź i powiedz Ahabowi: Zaprzęgaj i wyjeżdżaj, aby cię deszcz nie powstrzymał!
A za siódmym razem rzekł: Oto obłok mały jako dłoń człowiecza występuje z morza. Tedy on rzekł: Idź, a powiedz Achabowi: Zaprzęgaj, a ujeżdżaj, aby cię deszcz nie zastał.
A za siódmym razem powiedział: Oto mała chmurka, jak dłoń człowieka, podnosi się z morza. Wtedy polecił mu: Idź, powiedz Achabowi: Zaprzęgaj rydwan i zjeżdżaj, aby cię deszcz nie zatrzymał.
Za siódmym razem rzekł: Oto maleńka chmurka jak dłoń ludzka wznosi się z morza. Wtedy rzekł: Idź i powiedz Achabowi: Zaprzęgaj i jedź, aby cię ulewa nie zaskoczyła.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
a little cloud: Kekaph ish, "like the hollow of a man's hand;" in the form of a hand bent, the concave side downmost. Mr. Bruce mentions a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of the Nile. "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel." Job 8:7, Zechariah 4:10
Prepare: Heb. Tie, or Bind, 1 Samuel 6:7, 1 Samuel 6:10, Micah 1:13
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 20:14 - order Job 36:29 - the spreadings Psalms 147:8 - covereth Amos 5:8 - that calleth Luke 12:54 - When
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass at the seventh time that he said, behold there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand,.... Either about the size or in the form of it; rain water comes out of the sea, and, being strained through the clouds and air, becomes fresh:
and he said, go up: the meaning seems to be, that he should first go down from the mount, and then go up to that part of it where Ahab was:
say unto Ahab, prepare thy chariot; bind or fasten the horses to it, as the phrase seems to signify:
and get thee down; from the mountain where he was, to go to Jezreel, which lay low in a valley:
that the rain stop thee not; on the road, that might be made impassable by it, signifying that such abundance should fall as would make it so.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A little cloud ... - Sailors know full well that such a cloud on the far horizon is often the forerunner of a violent storm.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 18:44. There ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. — ××ש ×××£ kechaph ish, like the hollow of a man's hand. In the form of the hand bent, the concave side downmost. I have witnessed a resemblance of this kind at sea previously to a violent storm, a little cloud the size of a man's hand first appearing, and this increasing in size and density every moment, till at last it covered the whole heavens, and then burst forth with incredible fury.
Mr. Bruce mentions a similar appearance in Abyssinia: - "Every morning, in Abyssinia, is clear, and the sun shines. About nine a small cloud, not above four hundred feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite quarters. These clouds, having attained nearly the same height, rush against each other with great violence, and put me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel." - Travels, vol. v., page 336, edit. 1806.
