Gave rain (ueton edwken). This idiom is in the LXX of God as here of heaven (I Samuel 12:17; I Kings 18:1) and also in Acts 14:17 instead of ebrecen of verse James 5:17. ueton is old word for rain (from uw, to rain), genuine here, but not in verse James 5:7.

Brought forth (eblasthsen). First aorist active of blastanw, old verb, to sprout (intransitive as Mark 4:27), here as occasionally in later Greek transitive with accusative karpon.
