Exegesis
The temporal frame is marked by mitkhilat katsir {מִתְּחִלַּ֣ת קָצִיר | miṯ-tə-ḥillat qāṣîr} “from the beginning of harvest” and ad with the Niphal perfect nittakh-mayim {נִתַּךְ־מַיִם | niṯ-ṭaḵ-mayim} “water was poured down,” forming an inclusive time span.
In context — 2 Samuel 21:10
And Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water was poured down from the heavens upon them. She did not allow the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
