Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root סָגַר (sagar), meaning "to shut" or "to close."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for סַגְרִיד in the Strong's Concordance. However, Greek terms related to rain or heavy rain include ὑετός (hyetos • G5205), which means "rain," and κατακλυσμός (kataklysmos • G2627), meaning "flood" or "deluge," which can convey a similar sense of overwhelming water.

Usage: The term סַגְרִיד is used to describe a significant and heavy rainfall, often implying a sense of overwhelming or enveloping precipitation.

Context: Contextual Analysis: The word סַגְרִיד is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it conveys the idea of an intense and abundant rainfall. This type of rain is often associated with divine intervention or natural phenomena that demonstrate the power and majesty of God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, rain was both a blessing and a potential threat, depending on its timing and intensity. A סַגְרִיד could be seen as a sign of God's provision or as a warning of His judgment.
Theological Implications: In biblical theology, rain is often symbolic of God's blessing and sustenance, as it is essential for agriculture and survival. However, excessive rain, as implied by סַגְרִיד, can also represent judgment or cleansing. This duality reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nature and His ability to use natural elements to fulfill His purposes.
Literary Significance: The use of vivid imagery, such as a pouring rain, enhances the narrative by providing a sensory experience that underscores the emotional and spiritual atmosphere of the text. It serves to draw the reader into the scene, emphasizing the magnitude of the event being described.
