snow (verb: to snow, cover with snow)
A denominative Hiphil verb meaning to snow, derived from the noun 'snow' (שֶׁלֶג). It appears only in Psalm 68:14 in a notoriously obscure verse: 'When the Almighty scatters kings there, it snows on Zalmon.' The verb's imperfect form (תַּשְׁלֵג) is parsed as impersonal: 'it snows.' The meaning and connection to context remain debated—some propose metaphorical whitening (from corpses?), others see literal snowfall as a sign of divine intervention. The snow reference may contrast the darkness of Zalmon's forests with sudden brightness, symbolizing military victory or divine epiphany. This rare verbal use of 'snow' adds to the psalm's cryptic geographical-military imagery.

Sentidos
1. sense 1 In Psalm 68:14 (Hebrew 68:15), the Hiphil imperfect 'it snows' (תַּשְׁלֵג) appears in the clause 'it snows on Zalmon.' Spanish translates 'nevó' (it snowed, past tense), French 'couvrir' (to cover), German 'es snowed.' The verb's impersonal construction treats snowfall as a divine act—God causing snow. The context connects snow to the scattering of kings, suggesting divine intervention in battle. Whether literal meteorological snow or metaphorical whitening (victory, corpses, divine glory) remains unclear. The domain assignment to 'Natural Substances' fits the meteorological sense, though the theological context suggests divine action vocabulary.
