"Hoar frost" (Heb. kephor, so called from its covering the ground) is mentioned in Exodus 16:14; Job 38:29; Psalm 147:16 .
In Psalm 78:47 the word rendered "frost" (RSV marg., "great hail-stones"), Hanamal , occurs only there. It is rendered by Gesenius, the Hebrew lexicographer, "ant," and so also by others, but the usual interpretation derived from the ancient versions may be maintained.
