Brecho is a vivid, sensory Greek verb whose basic meaning is to wet or drench. In the New Testament it splits cleanly into two senses that translation languages consistently distinguish. The dominant meteorological sense — 'to rain' or 'to cause rain' — appears five times, from Jesus' teaching that the Father 'sends rain on the just and the unjust' (Matt 5:45) to the apocalyptic image of God raining fire and sulfur on Sodom (Luke 17:29) and Elijah's prayer that it might not rain (Jas 5:17). Spanish llover, French pleuvoir, and German regnen all deploy dedicated rain vocabulary. But in Luke 7:38 and 7:44, the verb takes on an intimate, physical meaning: the sinful woman 'began to wet' Jesus' feet with her tears. Here Spanish shifts to mojar, and the sense moves from sky to skin, from cosmic to personal. The same root that describes divine judgment through heavenly downpour also captures a woman's tears falling on a rabbi's dusty feet.
