Summer
is the invariable rendering in the A..V. of the Heb. , kayits (Chaid. , kayit, Dan 2:35; New Test. , heat), which properly signifies harvest of fruits (not of grain, which is ), strictly the cutting-off of the fruit (Isa 16:9; Jer 8:20; Jer 48:32); specially fig-harvest, which in Palestine takes place in August, although the early figs () ripen at the summer solstice (Isa 28:4; Mic 7:1); hence the harvest-time of figs, i.e. summer, especially midsummer, the hottest season (Psa 32:4; the droughts of summer, Pro 6:8; Pro 10:5; Pro 26:1; the summerhouse, Amo 3:15); also fruit, specially figs, as harvested (Amo 8:1-2; comp. Jer 24:1 sq.). SEE AGRICULTURE; SEE FIG; SEE HARVEST; SEE PALESTINE; SEE SEASON.

Summer
SUMMER (, Mat 24:32, Mar 13:28, Luk 21:30).This term stands in the Gospels for the time of heat as distinguished from , the season of cold and rain-storms. These terms indicate the great division of the year in the East. Scripture has no special words for spring and autumn; and while the Arab speaks of er-raba, the time of fresh pasture, and el-kharf, the time of gathering of grapes and other fruits, they are hardly regarded as distinct seasons. Saif wa shitta, summer and winter, sum up the year for him. When, in the less frequent showers of early April, the fig-leaves burst out and cover the immature fruit on the twigs, the days of cloudless sunshine are at hand. These last from April, through the harvest in the end of May, the threshing and winnowing that follow, and the gathering of the fruits in August and September, until the clouds of October herald the coming of rains and cold.

Summer
sumer (, kayic; Aramaic , kayit (Dan 2:35), from , kuc , kut, to cut off, to pluck or gather fruit, hence, the time of fruit, summer (2Sa 16:1, 2Sa 16:2; Jer 40:10, Jer 40:12); , theros (Mat 24:32; Luk 21:30)): The Hebrew verb, mentioned above, occurs in Isa 18:6, to summer, used of the ravenous birds feeding upon carcasses of the slain. The term summer parlor in Jdg 3:20 (compare Jdg 3:24) is literally, upper room, and is so rendered in the Revised Version (British and American). The summer was the dry season extending from April to October when usually no rain falls. Hence, the drought of summer (Psa 32:4). See SEASONS.

Summer
Psa 32:4 (a) This describes the depressing condition of David’s heart, and the lack of joy in his soul.
Pro 10:5 (b) This figure is used to urge GOD’s people to serve Him actively and efficiently while opportunities abound. It is because there will come a day when either old age or external conditions will make it impossible or permissible to serve Him. (See also Pro 6:8; Pro 30:25).
Pro 26:1 (a) Here we see a figure which shows that things may be as incongruous in society as they are in the elements.
Jer 8:20 (b) By this picture in nature we see a wonderful truth in human life. In the summer, crops are produced, the fruit ripens, and at the end of summer they are gathered. The grain is saved, but the stubble, chaff and weeds are left in the field to be destroyed. So it is in life. The harvest day is coming, the summertime of opportunity will be ended, and some will be left outside the door because they are of no value to GOD.
Mat 24:32 (b) This is a picture of those blessed days that will exist when Israel will be restored as a nation, and like the fig tree will again bear fruit for GOD. (See also Mar 13:28; Luk 21:30).
