WINTER
It included the rainy season, and also the autumn harvest season (Gen. 8:22; Ps. 74:17; Zech. 14:8).
It was also the time of cold (Jer. 36:22; Am. 3:15).
In the NT, “cheimõn” (John 10:22) corresponds to the rainy season (Heb. “hõreph”).
The verb “paracheimazõ” means “to winter” (Acts 27:12).
