In the biblical context, it is used to describe the cold and sometimes harsh conditions that can occur in the natural world, serving as a metaphor for God's power and the changing seasons.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, frost was a significant weather event, especially in the cooler months. It was a reminder of the changing seasons and the need for agricultural planning. Frost could be both a blessing, in terms of its role in the natural cycle, and a challenge, as it could damage crops if it occurred unexpectedly. The Israelites, living in an agrarian society, were keenly aware of the impact of weather patterns on their livelihood.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
