Brook:
a torrent. (1.) Applied to small streams, as the Arnon, Jabbok, etc. Isaiah (Isa 15:7) speaks of the "book of the willows," probably the Wady-el-Asha. (2.) It is also applied to winter torrents (Job 6:15; Num 34:5; Jos 15:4,47), and to the torrent-bed or wady as well as to the torrent itself (Num 13:23; 1Ki 17:3). (3.) In Isa 19:7 the river Nile is meant, as rendered in the Revised Version.

Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
