4:7 “I withheld rain from you three months before the harvest. 1
I gave rain to one city, but not to another.
One field 2 would get rain, but the field that received no rain dried up.
[4:7] 1 sn Rain…three months before the harvest refers to the rains of late March-early April.
[4:7] 2 tn Heb “portion”; KJV, ASV “piece”; NASB “part.” The same word occurs a second time later in this verse.
