ROSÉE

Voir les versets relatifs

On nomme ainsi de fines gouttelettes d'eau qui se déposent le matin sur l'herbe et sur divers objets. La rosée est due à la condensation des vapeurs d'eau de l'atmosphère à la surface des corps : elle ne se produit que lorsque certaines conditions sont réalisées, notamment un écart de température appréciable entre le jour et la nuit. Il y a des corps qui, se refroidissant beaucoup par rayonnement, rendent saturé l'air humide à leur contact, et la vapeur d'eau se dépose à leur surface. Tous les corps ne se recouvrent pas également de rosée, car ils ne sont pas tous également conducteurs de la chaleur et ne rayonnent pas également. Si la température baisse beaucoup, la rosée peut se congeler et donner la gelée blanche.

Bible. Comme toutes choses, la rosée dépend directement de Dieu (Jug 6:37,40). Elle est souvent nommée avec la pluie : c'est que, dans les pays chauds, elles apparaissent l'une et l'autre comme un bienfait inestimable que Dieu dispense ou refuse (Ge 27:28-39, De 33:13,2Sa 1:21,1Ro 17:1, Job 38:28, Pr 3:20). Il a donné la rosée avec la manne (Ex 16:13, No 11:9). Il est lui-même comparé, dans sa grâce qui pardonne et relève, à la rosée qui fera revivre Israël (Os 14:5) ; de même que dans ce dernier passage le prophète met la rosée en rapport avec la montagne du Liban (verset 5,7), de même un psalmiste la met en rapport avec la montagne de l'Hermon : (Ps 133:3) tout le long de l'été brûlant les Israélites regardaient vers les neiges éternelles de cette cime, visible de fort loin, au Nord de la Galilée ; ils leur attribuaient le rafraîchissement de la Palestine, les fortes rosées de la nuit ; mais ce n'est pas sans quelque hyperbole que le poète étend ici cet effet jusqu'aux collines de Sion !

La rosée fournit plusieurs expressions symboliques : silencieuse (2Sa 17:12), fugitive (Os 6:4 13:3, Mic 5:6), elle enrichit et fertilise (Ge 27:28, De 33:13), rafraîchit et vivifie (De 32:2, Esa 18:4, Sir 43:22) ; on lui compare les paroles encourageantes (Job 29:22). Elle symbolise la puissance divine de résurrection (Esa 26:19). Quant à la gelée blanche, qui est mentionnée aussi (Ex 16:14, Ps 147:16), elle n'était guère à craindre en Palestine. H. L.

      30 It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

      32 Isaac his father said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am your son, your firstborn, Esau."

      35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."
      36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"
      37 Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"
      38 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
      39 Isaac his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.
