729、“降雨”表示试探。这从本章开头的阐述和说明（705节）清楚可知，即：在此被称为“降雨”的洪水和诸水的泛滥，不仅表示试探，还表示荒废。这也可从后面关于洪水的进一步阐述明显看出来。

[NCE]729. The symbolism of rainfall as the trials themselves can be seen from the remarks and supporting quotations introducing this chapter [705]. They showed that a flood or a deluge of water — which is what this rain was — symbolizes not only trials but also devastation. The meaning will also be clear from what is said about the Flood in the sections to follow.
Potts(1905-1910) 729
729. That by "raining" is signified temptation, is evident from what was said and shown in the introduction to this chapter, namely, that a "flood" or "inundation" of waters, which is here described by "rain" signifies not only temptation, but also vastation. And the same will also appear from what is to be said concerning the flood in the following pages.
Elliott(1983-1999) 729
729. 'Raining' means temptation. This is clear from what has been stated and shown in the preliminary section of this chapter,a to the effect that the flood and deluge of waters, which is called 'raining' here, mean not only temptation but also vastation. This will also be evident from what is to be stated further on about the Flood.
Latin(1748-1756) 729
729. Quod per 'pluere' significetur tentatio, constat ab illis quae in praemissis ad hoc caput dicta et ostensa sunt, quod nempe diluvium et inundatio aquarum, quae est hic 'pluere,' significent non solum tentationem, sed etiam vastationem: tum quoque patebit ex illis quae in sequentibus de diluvio dicenda.
