Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

שֶׁלֶג m. snow, Job 24:19; Psalms 147:16. (Arab. ثَلْجُ, Aram. תַּלְגָא.) Hence is a denom. in

Hiphil הִשְׁלִיג to be white like snow, to be of a snowy colour (compare, as to the use of the Conj. Hiphil, in denoting colours, under אָדַם, לָבַן), Psalms 68:15, “when the Almighty scattered kings in it (the earth), תַּשְׁלֵג בְּצַלְמוֹן it was snowy” (with the bodies of the slain, compare Æn. v. 865; xii. 36, campi ossibus albent), like snow “on Mount Zalmon.” Others take it differently, as Kimchi, “it shines as snow in darkness;” Schnurrer, “it will be refreshed in the shade,” compare ثلج IV. to make joyful (prop. refresh).
