To drip or drop, used of heavens dripping dew or teaching dripping like rain
This verb means to drip or let fall in drops, like water from clouds. Deuteronomy 32:2 uses it in Moses' poetic comparison: 'Let my teaching drop like the rain,' parallel to 'distill like the dew.' Deuteronomy 33:28 describes blessed Israel whose 'heavens drip dew.' The verb captures the gentle but persistent falling of moisture, making it apt for both meteorological description and metaphor for teaching that gradually penetrates like rain soaking into soil.

1. sense 1 — A Qal imperfect verb meaning to drip, drop, or distill. The meteorological usage ('his heavens drip dew') describes natural precipitation. The metaphorical usage compares Moses' teaching to dripping rain—instruction falling gently but steadily upon listeners. The multilingual glosses ('destilarán,' 'goteará,' 'drip') consistently convey this idea of liquid falling in drops. The parallel with 'distill' (nazal) reinforces the image of moisture descending from above to water the earth or soul. 2×
