Strong's Lexicon gasham: To rain, to cause rain, to shower Original Word: גָּשַׁם Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: gasham Pronunciation: gah-sham' Phonetic Spelling: (gaw-sham') Definition: to shower violently Meaning: To shower violently Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2597: καταβαίνω (katabainō) • to go down, come down, descend • G5205: ὑετός (hyetos) • rain These Greek terms, while not direct translations, relate to the concept of descending or falling, as in rain, and can be used in contexts that describe the action of rain or the coming down of something from above, similar to the Hebrew גָּשַׁם. Usage: The verb גָּשַׁם (gāsham) is used in the context of heavy rain or a violent shower, often implying a sudden and forceful downpour. Context: The Hebrew verb גָּשַׁם (gāsham) appears in the Old Testament to describe instances of intense and forceful rain. This term is used to convey the power and suddenness of a heavy shower, often in a context that emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the rain. The usage of גָּשַׁם is relatively rare, but it is significant in illustrating the might and unpredictability of natural phenomena, which in the biblical worldview, are often seen as manifestations of divine power or judgment. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to describe the kind of rain that is not just a gentle drizzle but a forceful and potentially destructive downpour. This can be seen in contexts where the rain is a metaphor for divine intervention or judgment, highlighting the power and authority of God over creation.
