ANE cultures were also aware of fogs and morning dew. And how fog can make your skin and clothing moist. They saw evaporation of sweat from their skin and how boiling pots of water would reduce to the degree steam was formed from the pot. In fact, they could take an object (like a knife) and place it in a directed pressurized stream of steam from a covered pot and see the object literally get wet. Not that all culture or individuals understood the connection between water and steam/mist, but it wouldn't have been difficult to figure out. <br /><br />The following are two passages that refer to mists and their connection with water. There are also numerous passages dealing with dew, but I'm too lazy to search and post them.<br /><br />Genesis<br />2:6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.<br /><br /><br />2 Peter<br />2:17 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved.ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-89972873491941722172015-10-22T20:16:54.357-04:002015-10-22T20:16:54.357-04:00I just did a word search in the OT for verses with...I just did a word search in the OT for verses with the words "cloud" and "rain" and the Bible program came up with the following verses. It seems like many OT writers understood that clouds contain the water from rain.<br /><br /><br />Ecclesiastes<br />11:3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.<br /><br /><br />1 Kings<br />18:44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.<br />18:45 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:<br /><br />Proverbs<br />16:15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; And his favor is as a cloud of the latter rain.<br />25:14 [As] clouds and wind without rain, [So is] he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.<br /><br />Isaiah<br />5:6 and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.<br />ANNOYED PINOYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714774340084597206noreply@blogger.com
