16 1Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. aThe effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  
17 Elijah was a man awith a nature like ours, and bhe prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.  
18 And he prayed aagain, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

James 5:18

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.
