Strong's Lexicon geshem: Rain, shower Original Word: גֶּשֶׁם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to rain Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5205 (hyetos): Refers to rain in the New Testament, used in contexts such as Acts 14:17, where God is said to provide rain from heaven. Usage: The Hebrew word "geshem" primarily refers to rain or a shower. It is used in the Bible to describe the physical phenomenon of rain, which is essential for agriculture and sustenance in the ancient Near East. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe abundance or blessing, as rain was seen as a direct provision from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, rain was crucial for survival. The climate of the region is such that rain is seasonal, with the "early" and "latter" rains being vital for the growth of crops. The dependence on rain for agriculture made it a symbol of God's blessing and faithfulness. The Israelites understood rain as a sign of God's favor and a response to obedience, while drought was often seen as a consequence of disobedience.
