Jetzt ist doch die Weizenernte, [in welcher Zeit in Palästina kein Regen kommt]. Ich will aber den Herrn anrufen, und er wird Donner und Regen geben, dass ihr erkennet und sehet, dass eure Bosheit groß ist, die ihr begangen vor dem Herrn, euch einen König zu fordern.
Taanit
But we have learnt in a Mishnah. If rain fell after the month of Nissan had ended, it is a sign of curse, as it said: is it not the wheat harvest today? etc. [I will call to Hashem and he will send thunder and rain, that you may know and see that your wickedness is great.]
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
MISHNAH: If these passed without rainfall one decreases commercial activity, building, planting, preliminary and definitive marriage, and greetings between people, as persons reprimanded by the Omnipresent. Particular people157As described in the Halakhah. continue to fast up to the end of Nisan. If it rained after the end of Nisan it is a sign3Greek σημεῑον. of curse as it is said, is today not harvest of wheat2471S. 12:17, where Samuel invokes summer rain as a sign of Divine displeasure about the people’s demand for a king.?
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
