watercourse, stream, channel for irrigation
This masculine plural construct noun designates watercourses or irrigation channels that conduct water for agricultural purposes. Isaiah uses it twice in restoration promises: channels of water will flow on every high hill and mountain in the day of Judah's restoration (Isaiah 30:25), and God will pour water on the thirsty land like streams on dry ground (Isaiah 44:4). Both passages parallel it with pelagim (streams), emphasizing abundant irrigation. The term suggests artificial or directed water channels rather than natural streams, supporting agricultural productivity through managed water distribution.

1. sense 1 — Both occurrences appear in Isaiah's restoration oracles promising agricultural abundance through divinely-provided water. Isaiah 30:25 envisions channels of water (yivlei-mayim) on every elevated place, paired with streams (pelagim), transforming even highlands into well-watered farmland. Isaiah 44:4 promises pouring water on the thirsty and streams on dry ground, using irrigation imagery for spiritual renewal. The construct form yivlei suggests these are conduits or channels directing water for productive use. The parallel with pelagim (streams, rivulets) clarifies the water-channel function, though yivlei may emphasize artificial irrigation infrastructure more than natural watercourses. 2×
