showers, rain-drops; abundant precipitation that waters vegetation
This plural noun refers to showers or rain-drops, appearing in Moses's song in Deuteronomy 32:2 as part of an extended metaphor comparing his teaching to various forms of precipitation. The word stands in poetic parallelism with rain, dew, and showers, creating a multi-layered image of God's word as life-giving moisture. Just as different forms of rain benefit vegetation in different ways, so God's instruction penetrates and nourishes at every level of need.

1. sense 1 — Refers to showers or abundant rain-drops in the poetic parallelism of Deuteronomy 32:2. The form כשעירים (ki-se'irim) means 'like showers,' appearing in Moses's comparison: 'Let my teaching fall like rain...like showers upon the grass.' English translates 'like-showers,' Spanish 'como-lluvias' (like rains), French 'comme-showers,' and German 'wie-showers.' This noun works with three other precipitation terms (rain, dew, and heavy showers) to create a comprehensive image of God's word as moisture that brings life to dry ground. The comparison suggests gentleness, pervasiveness, and the power to produce growth—teaching that soaks in rather than washing away. 1×
