* a little cloud.
{Kekaph ish,} "like the hollow of a man's hand;" in the form
of a hand bent, the concave side downmost. Mr. Bruce mentions
a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of
the Nile. "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not
above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently
round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it
first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends
itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite
quarters. These clouds having attained nearly the same
height, rush against each other with great violence, and put
me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."

* Prepare. Heb. Tie, or Bind.
