Usage: The Hebrew word "טַל" (tal) refers to dew, a natural phenomenon where moisture condenses on surfaces during the night. In the Bible, dew is often used symbolically to represent blessing, renewal, and divine favor. It is seen as a source of nourishment and refreshment, especially in arid regions where water is scarce.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, dew was a critical source of moisture for agriculture, particularly in regions with limited rainfall. It was considered a blessing from God, essential for the growth of crops and the sustenance of life. Dew's regular appearance each morning was a reminder of God's provision and faithfulness. In a cultural context, dew also symbolized purity and was often associated with the divine presence and favor.
