Usage: The Hebrew word "barad" refers to hail, a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice. In the biblical context, it is often associated with divine judgment and power. Hail is depicted as a tool used by God to demonstrate His might and to execute judgment upon the earth, particularly against those who oppose His will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, hail was a rare but significant weather phenomenon. It was often seen as a manifestation of divine intervention due to its destructive power. In agrarian societies, hail could devastate crops and livestock, leading to famine and economic hardship. Thus, its occurrence was often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or a call to repentance.
