Hi teresa, Here is what Harpers Bible Dictionary says: First mentioned in Gen. 9:12-13, the rainbow appears as sign of God’s covenant promise not to destroy the world by flood again. The Hebrew word qeshet means both ‘bow’ and ‘rainbow.’ Lam. 2:4 and Hab. 3:9-11 depict it as instrument of divine wrath, its arrows (e.g., lightning, thunderbolts, rains) released earthward (cf. Ecclus. 43:11-21). An ancient illustration of the god Ashur depicts him drawing a rainbow as a weapon. Gen. 9:12-13 thus suggests a spent bow. Ezek. 1:28 associates the rainbow with a manifestation of divine glory (cf. Rev. 10:1). I hope this helps, BradK |
