1 Reis 8:35

Listen to 1 Reis 8:35
35 “Quando se fechar o céu e não houver chuva por haver o teu povo pecado contra ti e, se o teu povo, voltado para este lugar, invocar o teu nome e afastar-se do seu pecado por o haveres castigado,

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.

33 “Quando Israel, o teu povo, for derrotado por um inimigo por ter pecado contra ti, voltar-se para ti e invocar o teu nome, orando e suplicando a ti neste templo,
34 ouve dos céus e perdoa o pecado de Israel, o teu povo, e traze-o de volta à terra que deste aos seus antepassados.
35 “Quando se fechar o céu e não houver chuva por haver o teu povo pecado contra ti e, se o teu povo, voltado para este lugar, invocar o teu nome e afastar-se do seu pecado por o haveres castigado,
36 ouve dos céus e perdoa o pecado dos teus servos, de Israel, teu povo. Ensina-lhes o caminho certo e envia chuva sobre a tua terra, que deste por herança ao teu povo.
37 “Quando houver fome ou praga no país, ferrugem e mofo, gafanhotos peregrinos e gafanhotos devastadores, ou quando inimigos sitiarem suas cidades, quando, em meio a qualquer praga ou epidemia,
