   In Acts 14:17, the plural accusative form occurs in the clause the APB renders “giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons”; in Acts 28:2, the singular accusative form is associated with rain that had set in and cold. Hebrews 6:7 describes land drinking rain that often falls and producing a crop, while James 5:18 links heaven’s giving rain with the earth’s fruit; Revelation 11:6 presents rain as not falling when heaven is shut.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “rains” in Acts 14:17 and “rain” in the other verses, presenting it as given from heaven, falling on land, setting in with cold, or being prevented from falling. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate a precise English equivalent in every clause.
