Talmud su I Re 18:1
וַיְהִי֙ יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֔ים וּדְבַר־יְהוָ֗ה הָיָה֙ אֶל־אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ בַּשָּׁנָ֥ה הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֖ית לֵאמֹ֑ר לֵ֚ךְ הֵרָאֵ֣ה אֶל־אַחְאָ֔ב וְאֶתְּנָ֥ה מָטָ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃
E avvenne dopo molti giorni che la parola dell'Eterno venne a Elia, nel terzo anno, dicendo: 'Vai, mostrati ad Achab, e io manderò la pioggia sulla terra.'
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
It is written (1Kings 17:1) “Elijah the Tisbite, from the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Aḥab: By the Living Eternal One, the God of Israel, before Whom I stood, there will not be dew nor rain these years except by my word.” Rebbi Berekhia said, Rebbi Yasa and the rabbis. One of them said, he was heard both for dew and for rain; the other one said, he was heard for rain but was not heard for dew, from (1Kings 18:1): “Go, appear before Aḥab and I shall give rain65But dew is not mentioned. The entire piece, whose main place is in Taäniot 1:1, is included to explain the connection of the (summer) praise for dew in the benediction on “resurrection”. The praise for dew was included in the Yerushalmi prayer rite., etc.” And he who said, he was heard both for dew and for rain, where was the vow of dew dissolved? Rebbi Tanḥuma from Edreï66He is mentioned only here (and in the parallel in Taäniot). Since he appears together with Rebbi Berekhiah, he must belong to the last generation of Amoraïm in Israel.
It is the minority opinion of Rebbi Aqiba (Nedarim 9:6) that if in an earthly court part of a vow is annulled because it was executed under false intent, then the entire vow is annulled. This is not the majority opinion, hence, it is not the practice and does not imply Heavenly standards. said, they are of the opinion that a vow that was dissolved partially is dissolved totally. Some want to say, on the occasion of the son of the woman from Sarepta, (1Kings 17:20) “He called on the Eternal and said, o Eternal, my God, etc.” Rebbi Judah ben Pazi said, about one who stole a doctor’s bag67Greek νάρθηξ, a plant (Ferula communis), word also used for “casket for unguents”, and title of medical works. Hesiod has Prometheus carry off the fire in the stalk of a νάρθηξ.. When he left, his son was injured.He returned to him and said: Please, sir doctor, heal my son. He said to him: Go and return my bag because it is full of medicines, and I shall heal your son. So the Holy One, praise to Him, said to Elijah: Go and lift the vow of dew because the dead are resurrected only by dew, then I shall resurrect the son of the Sareptan. And from where that the dead will live only by dew? (Is. 26:19) “Your dead will live, the corpses will arise. Wake up and jubilate, those who dwell in dust! For a dew of light is Your dew, וְאֶרֶץ רְפָאִים תַּפִּיל.” Rebbi Tanḥum from Edreï said, “the earth will give up those that are deposited in it.68Rebbi Tanḥum from Edreï explains the difficult phrase וְאֶרֶץ רְפָאִים תַּפִּיל “it will fell Netherworlds” by taking תַּפִּיל in the sense of Rabbinic Hebrew, “having a miscarriage”, the Netherworld will expel what is in it.”
