"Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord. He raises up princes from the ends of the earth." This is a dispute between Reish Lakish and Rabbi Yochanan. Rabbi Yochanan says that there are no clouds below, as it is stated, "And behold, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man was coming" (Daniel 7:13).
Reish Lakish says that there are clouds below, as it is stated, "He raises up princes from the ends of the earth." According to Rabbi Yochanan's opinion, he would praise someone who honored his friend by sharing a jug of wine with him and drinking from it together. According to Reish Lakish's opinion, he would praise someone who lent his friend a measure of wheat and said, "Bring me your basket." This is what the Lord said to the earth, "Bring forth your clouds and let it rain."
There are five names for clouds: Ab, Anan, Ad, Nasi, Chaziz. Ab, because it mixes up the face of the earth. Anan, because it breaks down gates. Ad, because it makes creatures humble themselves before each other.
Nasi, because it makes princes humble themselves before each other. Chaziz, because it creates visions in the sky and fills the creatures with the holy spirit. As it is said, "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz."
