Lexicon :: Strong's H4306 - māṭār

“May my teaching ^H3948 drip ^H6201 as the rain ^H4306,

My speech ^H565 trickle ^H5140 as the dew ^H2919,

As droplets ^H8164 on the fresh ^H1877 grass ^H1877,

And as the showers ^H7241 on the vegetation ^H6212.

“Mountains ^H2022 of Gilboa ^H1533,

May there be no ^H408 dew ^H2919 nor ^H408 rain ^H4306 on you, or fields ^H7704 of offerings ^H8641!

For there ^H8033 the shield ^H4043 of the mighty ^H1368 was defiled ^H1602,

The shield ^H4043 of Saul ^H7586, not anointed ^H4899 with oil ^H8081.

Is like the light ^H216 of the morning ^H1242 when the sun ^H8121 rises ^H2224,

A morning ^H1242 without ^H3808 clouds ^H5645,

When the fresh ^H1877 grass ^H1877 springs out of the earth ^H776

From sunshine ^H5051 after ^H4480 rain ^H4306.’

“When the heavens ^H8064 are shut ^H6113 up ^H6113 and there is no ^H3808 rain ^H4306 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against You, and they pray ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 place ^H4725 and praise ^H3034 Your name ^H8034, and turn ^H7725 from their sin ^H2403 when ^H3588 You afflict ^H6031 them,

Now Elijah ^H452 the Tishbite ^H8664, who was of [fn]the settlers ^H8453 of Gilead ^H1568, said ^H559 to Ahab ^H256, “As the LORD ^H3068, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478 lives ^H2416, before ^H6440 whom ^H834 I stand ^H5975, there shall certainly ^H518 be neither ^H518 dew ^H2919 nor rain ^H4306 during these ^H428 years ^H8141, except ^H3588 H518 by my word ^H1697.”

Now it happened ^H1961 after many ^H7227 days ^H3117 that the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Elijah ^H452 in the third ^H7992 year ^H8141, saying ^H559, “Go ^H1980, present ^H7200 yourself to Ahab ^H256, and I will provide ^H5414 rain ^H4306 on the face ^H6440 of the earth ^H127.”

“When the heavens ^H8064 are shut ^H6113 up ^H6113 and there is no ^H3808 rain ^H4306 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against You, and they pray ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 place ^H4725 and praise ^H3034 Your name ^H8034, and turn ^H7725 from their sin ^H2403 when ^H3588 You afflict ^H6031 them,

“He gives ^H5414 rain ^H4306 on the earth ^H776,

And sends ^H7971 water ^H4325 on the fields ^H2351,

When He made ^H6213 a limit ^H2706 for the rain ^H4306,

And a course ^H1870 for the thunderbolt ^H6963 H2385,

“They waited ^H3176 for me as for the rain ^H4306,

And opened ^H6473 their mouths ^H6310 as for the late ^H4456 rain ^H4456.

“For He draws ^H1639 up ^H1639 the drops ^H5198 of water ^H4325;

They distill ^H2212 rain ^H4306 from its [fn]celestial ^H108 stream ^H108,

“For to the snow ^H7950 He says ^H559, ‘Fall ^H1933 on the earth ^H776,’

And to the [fn]downpour ^H1653 H4306 and the rain ^H1653 H4306, ‘Be strong ^H5797.’

“Does the rain ^H4306 have ^H3426 a father ^H1?

Or ^H176 who ^H4310 has fathered ^H3205 the drops ^H96 of dew ^H2919?

[fn]May he come ^H3381 down ^H3381 like rain ^H4306 upon the mown ^H1488 grass,

Like showers ^H7241 that water ^H2222 the earth ^H776.

[fn]He causes the [fn]mist ^H5387 to ascend ^H5927 from the ends ^H7097 of the earth ^H776,

[fn]He makes ^H6213 lightning ^H1300 for the rain ^H4306;

[fn]He brings ^H3318 forth ^H3318 the wind ^H7307 from His treasuries ^H214.

It is He who covers ^H3680 the heavens ^H8064 with clouds ^H5645,

Who provides ^H3559 rain ^H4306 for the earth ^H776,

Who makes grass ^H2682 sprout ^H6779 on the mountains ^H2022.

Like snow ^H7950 in summer ^H7019 and like rain ^H4306 in harvest ^H7105,

So ^H3651 honor ^H3519 is not fitting ^H5000 for a fool ^H3684.

A poor ^H7326 man ^H1397 who oppresses ^H6231 the helpless ^H1800

Is like a driving ^H5502 rain ^H4306 [fn]which leaves ^H369 no ^H369 food ^H3899.

“I will lay ^H7896 it waste ^H1326;

It will not be pruned ^H2168 nor hoed ^H5737,

But briars ^H8068 and thorns ^H7898 will come ^H5927 up ^H5927.

I will also command ^H6680 the clouds ^H5645 not to rain ^H4305 H4306 on it.”

Then He will give ^H5414 you rain ^H4306 for your seed ^H2233 which ^H834 you will sow ^H2232 in the ground ^H127, and bread ^H3899 from the yield ^H8393 of the ground ^H127, and it will be [fn]rich ^H1879 and [fn]plentiful ^H8082; on that day ^H3117 your livestock ^H4735 will graze ^H7462 in a wide ^H7337 pasture ^H3733.

When He utters ^H5414 His voice ^H6963, there is a roar ^H1995 of waters ^H4325 in the heavens ^H8064,

And He makes the clouds ^H5387 ascend ^H5927 from the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776;

He makes ^H6213 lightning ^H1300 for the rain ^H4306,

And brings ^H3318 out ^H3318 the wind ^H7307 from His storehouses ^H214.

When He utters ^H5414 His voice ^H6963, there is a roar ^H1995 of waters ^H4325 in the heavens ^H8064,

And He makes the clouds ^H5387 ascend ^H5927 from the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776.

He makes ^H6213 lightning ^H1300 for the rain ^H4306

And brings ^H3318 out ^H3318 wind ^H7307 from His storehouses ^H214.

Ask ^H7592 for rain ^H4306 from the LORD ^H3068 at the time ^H6256 of the spring ^H4456 rain ^H4456—

The LORD ^H3068 who makes ^H6213 the [fn]storm ^H2385 winds ^H2385;

And He will give ^H5414 them showers ^H4306 of rain ^H1653, vegetation ^H6212 in the field ^H7704 to each person ^H376.
