ABSTRACT

Concerning the changes of the clouds. If on the eighteenth day of llul clouds come up from the beginning of the day, there will be rain during the First T eshri. If they come up at midday, the middle part of the year will be good, and if they come up at sunset, the year will turn to hardness (i. e., the weather will be bad). If clouds are seen in the east, the crops in the east will be good. If clouds are seen in the west, the crops in the west will be good. And this will be the case also if clouds are seen in the north and south. If clouds are seen in all the earth, the crops will be good everywhere. If the clouds are black, the year will be rainy. And if the clouds are white, there will be much snow and ice. And if half the clouds are black, and the other half white, snow and ice will be abundant in that quarter of the world, and the latter part of the year will be cold.
