And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took (h) sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until (i) water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
(h) To make her a tent in which she prayed to God to turn away his wrath.
(i) Because drought was the cause of this famine, God by sending rain showed that he was pacified.
