“Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?”
Job 38:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 38:28
"Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?" God asks whether natural phenomena have human-like parentage. The Hebrew holid (הוֹלִיד, "beget/father") uses procreation language for rain and dew. The answer is clear—only God generates these. This challenges pagan mythologies that personified natural forces as deities or divine offspring. Rain and dew aren't autonomous beings but God's direct provision. The question teaches that acknowledging God as source of all blessing is foundational to right theology and worship.
