'Brooks' in the Bible
This ye do eat of all which are in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat;
and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which is in the waters -- an abomination they are to you;
therefore it is said in a book, 'The wars of Jehovah,' -- 'Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon;
And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to the border of Moab.'
'For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:
thence they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
and Ahab saith unto Obadiah, 'Go through the land, unto all fountains of waters, and unto all the brooks, if so be we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the cattle.'
Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away.
He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
Among rocks, brooks he hath cleaved, And every precious thing hath his eye seen.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss for a fly that is in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that is in the land of Asshur.
And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered.
Art thou better than No-Ammon, That is dwelling among brooks? Waters she hath round about her, Whose bulwark is the sea, waters her wall.
