The first rain, and the latter rain. Booth. The Hebrew nouns have nothing of latter or former implied in their meaning. wp is literally the "crop rain." That which fell just before the season of the harvest, to plump the grain before it was severed. And the beginning of the season of the harvest in Judea being the middle of March, according to the old style; this rain fell about the beginning of that month, and may properly be called the "harvest rain." The other is literally the "springing rain," or rather, "the rain which makes to spring" that which fell upon the seed, newly sown, and caused the green blade to shoot up out of the ground. This fell about the end or middle of October. I call it the "rain of seed time." Geddes renders, "In the autumn and in the spring." That is, toward the end of October, soon after seed time; and toward the end of March, before harvest. A good crop, in Judea, depended on the falling of rain at those two seasons.
