James 5:18

And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Prayed again, and - i:e., and so. Mark the connection between the prayer and its accomplishment.

Her fruit - her usual due fruit, heretofore withheld for sin. Three and a half years is the time also that the two witnesses prophesy, who "have power to shut heaven that it rain not" (; ).
