Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be cold.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2171: ἐπικαταράομαι (epikataráomai) • While not directly related to hail, this term involves invoking curses, which can be contextually linked to divine judgment.
G5464: χαλάζα (chaláza) • This is the Greek term for hail, used in the New Testament, such as in Revelation 8:7 (BSB): "Then the first angel sounded his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass." This reflects the continuity of the theme of hail as a sign of divine intervention and judgment from the Hebrew Bible into the New Testament.

Usage: The term בָּרָד (barad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to hail, a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice. It is often associated with divine judgment or as a sign of God's power.

Context: בָּרָד (barad) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, often in the context of divine intervention or judgment. One of the most notable occurrences is in the narrative of the plagues of Egypt, where hail is described as one of the ten plagues sent by God to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites from bondage. In Exodus 9:23-24 (BSB), it is written: "So Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. The hail fell and lightning continued flashing through it. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation."

The phenomenon of hail is also mentioned in the context of God's power and majesty in the Psalms and prophetic literature. For instance, in Psalm 18:12-13 (BSB), hailstones are depicted as part of a theophany: "From the brightness of His presence, His clouds advanced—hailstones and coals of fire. The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded—hailstones and coals of fire."

In the prophetic books, hail is often used symbolically to represent God's judgment against nations or peoples. Isaiah 28:17 (BSB) states: "I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the level. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place."

The use of hail in these contexts underscores its role as an instrument of divine will, demonstrating both the destructive power of nature and the sovereignty of God over creation.
