In the biblical context, it is often used to describe the natural phenomenon of frost as part of God's creation and His control over the natural world.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, frost was a common occurrence during the colder months, particularly in the highlands and desert regions. It was seen as a manifestation of God's power over nature, illustrating His ability to bring both life-giving rain and the harshness of frost. The Israelites, living in an agrarian society, were acutely aware of the impact of weather patterns on their crops and livelihoods, and frost was both a natural wonder and a potential threat to their sustenance.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">כְּפוֺר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bowl</b></font>
