EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Corn requires rain. Bible.—Light. As they are transparent, they do not hinder the sun from appearing. Hebrew “the brightness of the sky disperses the clouds, and the clouds shed their light” in the rainbow, (verse 15. Grot.) or lightning. Jun. Calmet. Menochius.—Prot. “Also by watering, he wearieth the thick cloud, he scattereth his bright cloud, (12) and it is turned round about by his counsels, that they may do whatsoever,” and so forth God prohibits or gives rain. Bible.—Nothing is left to chance. Calmet.—He directeth the clouds as a master does his ship. Worthington.
