In this lecture, we will analyze the metaphor of “dew” in the verse “Like dew from Mount Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion.” We will study two biblical stories related to dew: the prophet Elijah who decreed that there would be no dew or rain, and Gideon who asked for a sign of his success in dew falling on a fleece of wool.
What does dew symbolize? Why does it represent everywhere – a blessing? As God says: “I will be like dew to Israel?”
And how does this relate to the meaning of Hermon?
