Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Eliya alikuwa mwanadamu mwenye tabia kama sisi, naye aliomba kwa bidii mvua isinyeshe, na mvua haikunyesha juu ya nchi muda wa miaka mitatu na miezi sita.
