It was seen as a direct blessing from God, essential for crops and livestock. The dependence on rain for agriculture made it a powerful symbol of God's provision and faithfulness. In the Old Testament, rain is often associated with God's covenant promises, as seen in the blessings and curses related to obedience and disobedience (Deuteronomy 11:13-17).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from huó (to rain)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rain (4), rains (1).<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 5205: ὑετός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑετός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑετοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">ὕω</span> to rain), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">גֶּשֶׁם</span> and <span class="hebrew">מָטָר</span>, <span class="accented">rain</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-17.htm">Acts 14:17</a>;
