Job 28:10

cutteth out rivers The word "rivers" is that commonly used to denote the canals into which the Nile was divided, and might be translated canalsor channels. Such canals might be intended for drawing off the water accumulating in the mine. The second clause suggests, however, that the word rather means passagesor galleries, cut in order to pursue the vein, for it is said, "his eye seeth every precious thing."
