Aparte de los términos que se traducen por lluvia, hay un buen número de palabras hebreas y griegas alusivas a la lluvia que se traducen por expresiones como “aguacero”, “lluvia fuerte” (1Re 18:41; Eze 1:28), “lluvia constante” (Pr 27:15), “lluvia de otoño” o “temprana”, “lluvia de primavera” o “tardía” (Dt 11:14; Snt 5:7), “suaves lluvias” (Dt 32:2), “tempestad de lluvia” (Isa 4:6) y “chaparrones copiosos” (Sl 65:10).
