Definition and Etymology:
The term "snoweth" is an archaic form of the verb "to snow," used in older English translations of the Bible. It refers to the act of snow falling from the sky. In the context of the Bible, snow is often used symbolically to represent purity, cleansing, and the divine power of God.

Biblical References:
While the specific term "snoweth" does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of snow is mentioned several times throughout the Scriptures. Snow is used both literally and metaphorically to convey various theological themes.

1. Purity and Cleansing:
Snow is frequently associated with purity and the cleansing power of God. In Isaiah 1:18 , the Lord invites His people to reason together, saying, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall become like wool." This verse highlights the transformative power of God's forgiveness, likening the cleansing of sin to the whiteness of snow.

2. Divine Power and Majesty:
Snow is also used to illustrate the majesty and power of God. In Job 37:6 , it is written, "For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’" This passage emphasizes God's sovereign control over nature, commanding the elements according to His will.

3. Symbol of God's Word:
In Isaiah 55:10-11 , snow is used metaphorically to describe the effectiveness of God's word: "For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it." Here, snow symbolizes the nourishing and life-giving power of God's word, which fulfills His purposes.

4. Imagery of Transcendence:
The appearance of snow is used to describe the divine and transcendent nature of heavenly beings. In Daniel 7:9 , the Ancient of Days is depicted with clothing "as white as snow," signifying purity and holiness. Similarly, in the New Testament, during the Transfiguration of Jesus, His clothes became "dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them" (Mark 9:3), echoing the imagery of snow to convey divine glory.

Theological Significance:
In biblical literature, snow serves as a powerful symbol of God's purity, holiness, and the transformative power of His grace. It underscores the themes of redemption and the cleansing of sin, as well as the authority and majesty of the Creator. The imagery of snow enriches the biblical narrative by providing a vivid representation of spiritual truths, inviting believers to reflect on the purity and righteousness that come from a relationship with God.Snoweth (1 Occurrence)
