It is the autumn rain that falls in the months of October and November, marking the beginning of the rainy season. This rain is crucial for softening the ground for plowing and sowing seeds, ensuring a successful harvest.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the timing and amount of rainfall were vital for survival. The early rain, "yoreh," was eagerly anticipated as it signaled the start of the planting season. The Israelites depended on these rains for their crops, which were their primary source of food and trade. The faithfulness of God in providing the early and latter rains was often seen as a sign of His covenantal blessings and favor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>active participle of <a href="/hebrew/3384.htm">yarah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the early rain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>autumn rain (1), early (1), rain* (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יוֺרֶה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>early rain</b></font>, which falls in Palestine from the last of October until the first of December, opposed to <font class="hebrew2">מַלְקוֺשׁ</font>: <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/11-14.htm">Deuteronomy 11:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/5-24.htm">Jeremiah 5:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hosea/6-3.htm">Hosea 6:3</a> (where <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> makes <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יו</font> Participle, or Hiph`il Imperfect, but see We); compare also I. <font class="hebrew2">מוֺרֶה</font>.
