# Is it not the wheat harvest today?
|

|
|
Samuel knows it is harvest time. He is using a rhetorical question to emphasize that it does not usually rain at this time so the people will know that the rain that will ruin their harvest is a judgment from Yahweh. Alternate translation: "It is harvest time and does not usually rain at this time" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
