Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4306 מָטָר (matar) - rain - H1653 גֶּשֶׁם (geshem) - rain, shower Usage: In the New Testament, "huetos" refers to rain, often symbolizing God's provision and blessing. It is used both literally, to describe physical rain, and metaphorically, to represent spiritual nourishment and divine favor. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of ancient Israel and the broader Mediterranean world, rain was crucial for survival. It was seen as a direct blessing from God, essential for crops and livestock. The dependence on rain for agriculture made it a powerful symbol of God's provision and faithfulness. In the Old Testament, rain is often associated with God's covenant promises, as seen in the blessings and curses related to obedience and disobedience (Deuteronomy 11:13-17).
