1 Reis 8:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:35

When heaven is shut up
As it may be said to be when the air is quite serene, and not a cloud in it:

and there is no rain;
in its season, neither the former nor the latter, as it was in the times of Elijah:

because they have sinned against thee;
want of rain was threatened in case of sin, and was always the effect of it, ( Leviticus 26:19 Leviticus 26:20 ) ( Deuteronomy 28:23 Deuteronomy 28:24 ) ,

if they pray towards this place;
in any part of the country where they were; for it sometimes rained on one city, and not on another, ( Amos 4:7 )

and confess thy name;
own his power and his providence, and the justness of his dealings with them:

and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them;
their affliction being made useful, to bring them to a sense of their sin, and to repentance for it, and reformation from it; or, "when thou hearest" or "answerest them" F7; so the Targum, receives their prayer; thus the goodness of God leads to repentance.

1 Reis 8:35 In-Context

33 Quando o teu povo Israel for derrotado diante do inimigo, por ter pecado contra ti; se eles voltarem a ti, e confessarem o teu nome, e orarem e fizerem súplicas a ti nesta casa,
34 ouve então do céu, e perdoa a pecado do teu povo Israel, e torna a levá-lo � terra que deste a seus pais.
35 Quando o céu se fechar e não houver chuva, por terem pecado contra ti, e orarem, voltados para este lugar, e confessarem o teu nome, e se converterem dos seus pecados, quando tu os afligires,
36 ouve então do céu, e perdoa o pecado dos teus servos e do teu povo Israel, ensinando-lhes o bom caminho em que devem andar; e envia chuva sobre a tua terra que deste ao teu povo em herança.
37 Se houver na terra fome ou peste, se houver crestamento ou ferrugem, gafanhotos ou lagarta; se o seu inimigo os cercar na terra das suas cidades; seja qual for a praga ou doença que houver;
