_So the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain._
The Hebrew here may be rendered (see Lowth and Parkhurst) _lightning_
instead of _bright clouds_, and the connexion with rain will then be much
more obvious; especially with _heavy_ rain, as the Hebrew word literally
signifies, which usually follow lightning. The construction will then be
as proposed in the text.
_So the Lord causing lightning, shall bring heavy rain, &c._
