²⁰ By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, And the skies drop down the dew.

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

²⁸ Israel dwells in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

²³ "Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in Yahweh, your God; For he gives you the former rain in just measure, And he causes the rain to come down for you, The former rain and the latter rain, As before.

²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

⁹ You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.

¹⁰ You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.

¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.

¹² The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.

²⁶ To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, in which there is no man;

²⁷ To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, To cause the tender grass to spring forth?

²⁸ Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

⁸ "Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it broke forth from the womb,

⁹ When I made clouds the garment of it, Thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

¹⁰ Marked out for it my bound, Set bars and doors,

¹¹ And said, 'Here you may come, but no further; Here shall your proud waves be stayed?'

²⁷ For he draws up the drops of water, Which distill in rain from his vapor,

²⁸ Which the skies pour down And drop on man abundantly.

³⁷ Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"

³⁸ Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

³⁹ Isaac his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

²⁸ God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

⁹ God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear," and it was so.

⁸ The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them.

⁹ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don't turn again to cover the earth.
