Comentario sobre I Reyes 18:42
וַיַּעֲלֶ֥ה אַחְאָ֖ב לֶאֱכֹ֣ל וְלִשְׁתּ֑וֹת וְאֵ֨לִיָּ֜הוּ עָלָ֨ה אֶל־רֹ֤אשׁ הַכַּרְמֶל֙ וַיִּגְהַ֣ר אַ֔רְצָה וַיָּ֥שֶׂם פָּנָ֖יו בֵּ֥ין ברכו [בִּרְכָּֽיו׃]
Y Achâb subió á comer y á beber. Y Elías subió á la cumbre del Carmelo; y postrándose en tierra, puso su rostro entre las rodillas.
Rashi on I Kings
He bowed to the ground. [Targum Yonoson rendered,] “and he crouched on the ground,” to pray for rain.28He put his face between his knees with the intention of remaining in this cramped position until a sign of rain appeared.—Radak
