It can refer to the physical flow of water or the metaphorical flow of nations or people. In some contexts, it also implies a sense of being drawn or attracted to something, as in the gathering of people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, rivers and streams were vital for survival, providing water for drinking, agriculture, and transportation. The imagery of flowing water was often used to describe abundance, prosperity, and divine blessing. The concept of radiance or shining is also significant in biblical literature, symbolizing purity, holiness, and the presence of God.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
