24

By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 24. Heat. Hebrew kadim, ( Bible.) the “east.” Septuagint “south wind.” Perhaps the east winds produced the same bad effects in Egypt, as the south wind did in Judea; ( Calmet.) or this noxious burning wind might proceed from the south-eastern point of both countries. Bible.
