Ezekiel 31:4

The waters, the fact that he grew in a well-watered spot, made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, literally, "concerning the streams of the flood, she was going round about her planting," that is, about the place where the cedar was situated, and sent out her little rivers, the smaller irrigation streams, unto all the trees of the field. The Assyrian cedar thus received the first and full benefit of the stream's fertilizing strength, other trees being obliged to he satisfied with smaller canals. Assyria was blessed far above all nations in material prosperity of every kind.
