My comment:
Razón [de ser] = Lo que justifica que algo sea como es.
En este caso, el Cedrón, durante las crecidas del invierno, se transforma en torrente pluvial, esa es su razón de ser. Entonces, "el Cedrón recuperaba (cobraba) su razón [de ser] como torrente pluvial" durante las crecidas del invierno, ERGO, it's essence.
All this assumes that the Cedrón is a river or a brook, I gather that it is because there was a bridge to cross it, and the lepers lived in an area amidst tombs and crags, which was a safe place from the Cedrón.
My references:
Cobrar:
2. tr. recobrar (‖ volver a tomar lo que antes se tenía).
Synonyms
1. substance, spirit, lifeblood, heart, principle, soul, core.
Of course, I could be completely wrong!!! :0)

(Talking about Biblical Gegraphy, this stuff is fascinating!) Los Valles de Cedrón o Kedrón e Hinom Este valle comienza en la meseta al norte de la ciudad, y desde el siglo cuarto ha sido llamado el valle de Josafat. Se extiende alrededor entre Jerusalén y el monte de los Olivos solamente fuera del muro de la ciudad. En el rincón sudeste del área del templo al fondo del valle es como 12.19 ms. bajo el presente nivel. De este punto el valle se hace gradualmente más profundo y pronto voltea al este para descender por una cañada rocosa y escarpada hacia el mar Muerto. El valle entero es probablemente menos de 4.828 kms. de largo. El esfuerzo de distinguir entre los dos valles no ha sido satisfactorio. La explicación mejor parece ser que la porción del valle comenzando un poco bajo el área del templo era Hinom. Desde el siglo IV d. de J.C., Cedrón o Kedrón ha sido llamado el valle de Josafat y anteriormente era un lugar usado como sepultura.

My comment:
This is difficult : I think it means "And over there, despite the winter floods, there were still lepers around/to be seen/encountered when the lemon herbal plant grew back again amidst the rain-filled mountain streams"
