NETBible

For to the snow he says, ‘Fall¹ to earth,’ and to the torrential rains,² ‘Pour down.’³

NET Notes

¹tn The verb actually means “be” (found here in the Aramaic form). The verb “to be” can mean “to happen, to fall, to come about.”

²tn Heb “and [to the] shower of rain and shower of rains, be strong.” Many think the repetition grew up by variant readings; several Hebrew mss delete the second pair, and so many editors do. But the repetition may have served to stress the idea that the rains were heavy.

³tn Heb “Be strong.”
