In the Hebrew Bible, hailstones are depicted as instruments of God's power and wrath, demonstrating His control over nature and His ability to protect or punish as He sees fit.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, weather phenomena like hail were often seen as manifestations of divine will. Hailstones, in particular, were considered powerful and destructive forces. In the biblical narrative, they are used to illustrate God's supremacy over creation and His ability to intervene in human affairs. The use of hailstones in battle or judgment underscores the belief in God's active role in the world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hailstones* (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֶלְגָּבִישׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hail</b></font> (= Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb003811.gif"> <em>gypsum</em>;
