Reference: Drought
American
Was an evil to which Palestine was naturally subject, as no rain fell from May to September. During these months of summer, the ground became parched and cleft, the streams and springs became dry, and vegetation was kept from extinction by the dews at night and by artificial irrigation. If rain did not come in its season and abundantly, the distress was general and dreadful. A drought therefore is threatened as one of God's sorest judgments, Job 24:19; Jer 50:38; Joe 1:10-20; Hag 1:11; and there are many allusions to its horrors in Scripture, De 28:23; Ps 32:4; 102:4.

Call a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and everyone living in the land to the Temple of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD!" Oh, no! For the Day of the LORD approaches, and like destruction from the Almighty, it will come! Isn't our food supply cut off right in front of us, along with joy and gladness from the Temple of our God? Seeds shrivel within their furrows, the storehouses lie empty, and granaries stand in ruins because the grain has withered. Oh, how the livestock groan! The herds of cattle wander about because they have no pasture. Even flocks of sheep suffer! To you, LORD, I cry out, because fire has devoured the open pastures, and has set all the cultivated trees ablaze. The livestock also cries out to you, because their water sources have evaporated and because fire has consumed the open pastures.
I sent a drought on the land, on the mountains, on your grain, on your new wines, on your oil on everything the ground produces on men, on livestock, and on everything you do!'"

From the middle of May to about the middle of August the land of Palestine is dry. It is then the "drought of summer" (Ge 31:40; Ps 32:4), and the land suffers (De 28:1; Ps 102:4), vegetation being preserved only by the dews (Hag 1:11). (See Dew.)
