In the biblical context, rain is often seen as a blessing from God, essential for agriculture and sustaining life. It symbolizes divine provision and favor, as well as judgment when withheld.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, rain was crucial for survival, especially in agrarian societies like Israel. The climate of the region made rain a vital resource for crops and livestock. The Israelites depended on seasonal rains, such as the "early" and "latter" rains, for successful harvests. Consequently, rain was often associated with God's covenantal blessings and faithfulness, as seen in Deuteronomy 11:13-14, where obedience to God results in rain for the land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1026.htm">brechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wetting<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rain (2).<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 1028: βροχή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βροχή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βροχης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">βρέχω</span>, which see), a later Greek word (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 291), <span class="accented">a besprinkling, watering, rain</span>: used of a heavy shower or violent rainstorm, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-25.htm">Matthew 7:25, 27</a>;
