Dict: easton - Thunder

easton:

Thunder @ often referred to in Scripture kjv@Job:40:9; kjv@Psalms:77:18 kjv@Psalms:104:7). James and John were called by our Lord "sons of thunder" kjv@Mark:3:17). In kjv@Job:39:19, instead of "thunder," as in the Authorized Version, the Revised Version translates (ra'amah) by "quivering main" (marg., "shaking"). Thunder accompanied the giving of the law at Sinai kjv@Exodus:19:16). It was regarded as the voice of God kjv@Job:37:2; kjv@Psalms:18:13 kjv@Psalms:81:7; comp. kjv@John:12:29). In answer to Samuel's prayer ( kjv@1Samuel:12:17-18), God sent thunder, and "all the people greatly feared," for at such a season (the wheat-harvest) thunder and rain were almost unknown in Palestine.
