In the context of the Bible, it often refers to the early rains that are crucial for the growth of crops in the agrarian society of ancient Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, including Israel, agriculture was heavily dependent on seasonal rains. The "early" or "former" rains typically fell in the autumn, around October or November, and were essential for softening the ground for plowing and planting. These rains were seen as a blessing from God, ensuring the fertility of the land and the success of the harvest. The dependence on these rains is reflected in the biblical text, where they are often mentioned as a sign of God's provision and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/4291.htm">proimos</a>, q.v.<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4406: πρόϊμος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρόϊμος</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πρώϊμος</span></span>. <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4406: πρώϊμος</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρώϊμος</span></span> (for the more common <span class="greek2">πρώιος</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 52), <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">πρόϊμος</span> (so also the Sinaiticus manuscript; (see <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, p. 152)), <span class="greek2">πρωιμη</span>, <span class="greek2">πρώϊμον</span> (<span class="greek2">πρωι<</span>), <span class="accented">early</span>: <span class="greek2">ὑετός</span>, the early rain (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">יורֶה</span>, <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/11-14.htm">Deuteronomy 11:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/5-24.htm">Jeremiah 5:24</a>), which fell from October on ((cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
