Job of Uz (Uzbekistan) where progeny of Shem’s son Aram had settled wrote circa 2000 b. c. of Elohim that “He maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly,” and nearly fifteen hundred years later, prophet Amos wrote “He that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name,” then in the 17th century, Sir Edmund Halley calculated that the water evaporating off the ocean was sufficient for the rainfall for the the flows of streams and rivers.
