Strong's Lexicon barad: Hail Original Word: בָּרָד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be cold. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2171: ἐπικαταράομαι (epikataráomai) • While not directly related to hail, this term involves invoking curses, which can be contextually linked to divine judgment. Usage: The term בָּרָד (barad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to hail, a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice. It is often associated with divine judgment or as a sign of God's power. Context: בָּרָד (barad) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, often in the context of divine intervention or judgment. One of the most notable occurrences is in the narrative of the plagues of Egypt, where hail is described as one of the ten plagues sent by God to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites from bondage. In Exodus 9:23-24 (BSB), it is written: "So Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt. The hail fell and lightning continued flashing through it. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation."
