Context: The Hebrew word גֶּשֶׁם (geshem) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily referring to a physical downpour or heavy rain. This term is often associated with the agricultural cycle in ancient Israel, where rain was crucial for the growth of crops and the sustenance of life. In the biblical narrative, rain is frequently depicted as a blessing from God, a sign of His favor and provision. For instance, in the context of the covenant, God promises rain in its season as a reward for obedience (Deuteronomy 11:14). Conversely, the withholding of rain is portrayed as a form of divine judgment (1 Kings 17:1).
