H1933a H1933a
To fall or come down; used of snow falling earthward
This rare verb appears in God's speech from the whirlwind to Job, commanding snow to 'Fall earthward!' The root relates to falling or descending, an Arabizing usage reflecting poetry's occasional adoption of forms from related languages for vividness. Job 37-38 surveys meteorological phenomena demonstrating God's power over creation—snow, rain, ice, lightning. The imperative to snow captures the immediacy of divine command over nature: God speaks, and snow falls. This single use functions within the larger rhetorical strategy of demonstrating Job's inability to govern creation as God does.

1. sense 1 — Job 37:6 records God's word to the snow: 'Fall to earth!'—part of Elihu's speech describing God's control over weather. The command's brevity and directness emphasize divine sovereignty: nature obeys immediately. This leads into broader reflection on God's wisdom in creation—thunderstorms, ice, and constellations all testify to his power. The verb's Arabizing form adds poetic color, appropriate for the book's elevated style. The passage builds toward God's own speeches from the whirlwind, where he questions Job's ability to command creation as effortlessly as God commands snow to fall. 1×
