The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin…
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them i.e., the captives of Israel, those carried off by the enemy. There is no thought here of the captivity of the nation that is referred to in vers. 46-50 as the prayers to be offered in the temple prove. This petition is in exact accordance with the promises and threatenings of the law, for the former of which see Lev_26:40-44 Deu_30:1-5; for the latter, (Lev_26:33 Deu_4:27 Deu_28:64 sqq.) again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
The third petition concerns the plague of drought. Just as rain, in the thirsty and sunburnt East, has ever been accounted one of the best gifts of Lev_26:4 Deu_11:11Jo Deu_5:10, and passim; (Psa_68:9 Psa_147:8 Act_14:17) so was drought denounced as one of His severest scourges (Lev_26:19 Deu_11:17 Deu_28:23, Deu_28:24, etc.) This petition finds an illustration in the public supplications which are still offered in the East, and by men of all creeds, for rain.
