גֹּ֫שֶׁם

# Gōshem (Rain) The Hebrew word gōshem, appearing once in biblical text, denotes rain in its most straightforward sense. As a noun, it refers to the meteorological phenomenon of precipitation rather than to rainfall in a metaphorical or theological context. The singular occurrence in the biblical corpus limits the ability to trace semantic variations or context-dependent meanings, but the lexical entry confirms its basic referential function. The rarity of this particular term in biblical Hebrew—appearing only once—distinguishes it from more frequently used words for rain in the Hebrew Bible. This suggests that while gōshem was a recognized word in the Hebrew lexicon, scribes and authors typically employed other terminology when discussing precipitation in biblical narratives and laws. Without access to the specific biblical passage where gōshem appears, we cannot determine whether its single occurrence reflects genuine scarcity in usage or whether it carried a specialized or stylistic nuance that made it less common than synonyms.
