עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם כִּסָּה־א֑וֹר וַיְצַ֖ו עָלֶ֣יהָ בְמַפְגִּֽיעַ׃
Sa pamamagitan ng mga ulap ay tinatakpan Niya ang liwanag, at nag-uutos Siya tungkol dito dahil sa isang namamagitan sa panalangin.
Taanit
Rav Ami said, "The rain does not stop, except for when there is the sin of robbery, like it says, 'Because of palms, light was covered,' which means that because of the sin of palms, the light was covered. There is no such term as palms except for armed robbery/violence, as it says, 'And from the violence in their palms'. There is no light, except for rain, as it says, 'a cloud will scatter its light.
Taanit
How do we fix [the problem of insufficient rain and robbery]? Increase in prayer, As it says, 'And he commanded about her regarding a touch' and their is no touching except for prayer, as it says, 'And you, do not pray on behalf of this people, and do not come into contact with me."
