'Channel' in the Bible

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a stream, as the channel of streams which pass away,

He cuts a channel through the rocks, while his eyes search for anything of value.

Who cuts a channel for the flooding rainor clears the way for lightning,

A king’s heart is like streams of water in the Lord’s hand:He directs it wherever He chooses.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
