mist, vapor, or stream rising from the earth
A term appearing in two enigmatic texts. Genesis 2:6 describes a mist or stream rising from the earth to water the ground before the first rain. Job 36:27 refers to God drawing up drops of water as mist (the precise text is difficult). Ancient versions diverged: some saw 'spring' or 'fountain,' others 'mist' or 'cloud.' Recent scholarship connects it to Akkadian 'edu' (flood, mass of waters), suggesting subterranean water sources rather than atmospheric mist. Either way, it denotes primordial irrigation—God's provision of water before rain existed.

1. sense 1 — Genesis 2:6's 'ed' poses interpretive challenges. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate read 'spring' or 'fountain,' while Targum has 'cloud.' Modern scholars debate between atmospheric mist and subterranean streams welling up (comparing Akkadian flood/overflow terms). Job 36:27 compounds the difficulty—God draws up water droplets as or for 'his mist.' The concept involves pre-rain irrigation: before the flood, before seasonal rains, God watered the garden from underground sources. This primordial water system sustained Eden, testifying to God's creative care from the very beginning. 2×
