Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“He turneth the wilderness into a standing water - A pool; a lake. See the notes at Isaiah 35:6-7. And dry ground into water-springs - Not merely watering it with rain from heaven, but causing gushing fountains to break forth, and to flow continually, diffusing fertility and beauty everywhere. return to 'Top of Page'”
