Genesis 9:14

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; Zec 4:10Prepare. Heb.

12,13; Jon 4:8; Mt 24:27 28:26; 36:27,28; 37:3-6; Ps 29:3-10 To cause.It is well known that rain falls copiously in thunder storms. The flash is first seen, the clap is next heard, and last the rain descends; though in fact they all take place at the same time. The lightning traverses all space in no perceivable succession of time. Sound is propagated at the rate of 1,142 feet in a second. Rain travels still more slowly, and will be seen sooner or later according to the weight of the drops, and the distance of the cloud. Now as water is composed of two elastic airs or gases, called oxygen and hydrogen, in the proportion of 88 of the former and 11 3/4 of the latter in 100 parts, the electric spark, or matter of lightning, passing through the atmosphere, ignites and decomposes those gases, which explode; and the water falls down in the form of rain. This explosion, as well as the rushing in of the circumambient air to restore the equilibrium, will account for the clap and peal; and thus by the lightning of thunder God causes it to rain on the earth. on the wilderness.Ps 104:10-14; 107:35; 147:8,9; Isa 35:1,2; 41:18,19; 43:19,20Jer 14:22; Heb 6:7,8 27Psalms 135:1
1 An exhortation to praise God for his mercy;5 for his power;8 for his judgments.15 The vanity of idols.19 An exhortation to bless God. A.M. 3000. B.C. 1004. (Title.)Bp. Patrick supposes this to be the morning hymn which the precentor called upon the Levites to sing at the opening of the gates of the temple, as the foregoing was sung at the shutting in the evening; but it is more probable that it was composed by Solomon, to be sung at the dedication of the temple. Praise ye the Lord.33:1,2; 96:1-4; 106:1; 107:8,15; 111:1; 112:1; 113:1; 117:1,2; 150:6Praise ye the name.7:17; 102:21; 113:2,3; 148:13; Ex 34:5-7; Ne 9:5O ye servants.113:1; 134:1; 149:1-3
