  1. 1And thence I went 〚towards the east〛, into the midst 〚of the mountain range〛 of the desert, and I saw a wilderness and it was solitary, full of trees and plants.
  2. 2〚And〛 water gushed forth from above.
  3. 3Rushing like a copious watercourse [which flowed] towards the north-west it caused clouds and dew to ascend on every side.
