Thunder is hardly ever heard in Israel form the middle of April to the middle of September; hence it was selected by Samuel as a striking expression of the divine displeasure toward the Israelites. 1Sa 12:17 Rain in harvest was deemed as extraordinary as snow in summer, Pr 26:1 and Jerome states that he had never witnessed it in the latter part of June or in July. Comm. on Am 4:7 In the imaginative philosophy of the Hebrews, thunder was regarded as the voice of Jehovah, Job 37:2,4,5; 40:9; Ps 18:13; 29:3-9; Isa 30:30,31 who dwelt behind the thunder-cloud. Ps 81:7 Thunder was, to the mind of the Jew, the symbol of divine power Ps 29:3 etc., and vengeance. 1Sa 2:10; 2Sa 22:14 |
