36:27He draws up drops of water;
they distill44 the rain into its mist,45
36:28which the clouds pour down
and shower on humankind abundantly.
Footnotes
- 44 The verb means “to filter; to refine,” and so a plural subject with the drops of water as the subject will not work. So many read the singular, “he distills.”
- 45 This word עֵד (’ed) occurs also in Gen 2:6. The suggestion has been that instead of a mist it represents an underground watercourse that wells up to water the ground.
