For example, the Greek word "ὑετός" (hyetos, Strong's G5205) is used to describe rain in passages like Acts 14:17, where God is said to provide rain from heaven.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "rebibim" refers to plentiful or abundant rain showers. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the life-giving and nourishing rains that are essential for agricultural prosperity and the sustenance of life. The word emphasizes the abundance and blessing associated with rain, often seen as a divine provision from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, including Israel, rain was a critical component of agricultural success. The region's climate is characterized by a distinct rainy season, and the arrival of rain was eagerly anticipated by farmers. Rain was often seen as a direct blessing from God, and its absence could lead to drought and famine. The concept of "rebibim" would have been understood as a sign of God's favor and provision, ensuring the fertility of the land and the well-being of the people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
