Snow
Holman Bible Dictionary
Being basically in a hot climate, Palestine has snow only rarely. Yet Mount Hermon has a snow cap that can be seen throughout much of Palestine. Snow is used in the Bible figuratively: whiteness (Isaiah 1:18 ), cleanness (Job 9:30 ), refreshing coolness (Proverbs 25:13 ). See Weather .
