  Brook
     a torrent. (1.) Applied to small streams, as the Arnon, Jabbok,
     etc. Isaiah (15:7) speaks of the "book of the willows," probably
     the Wady-el-Asha. (2.) It is also applied to winter torrents
     (Job 6:15; Num. 34:5; Josh. 15:4, 47), and to the torrent-bed or
     wady as well as to the torrent itself (Num. 13:23; 1 Kings
     17:3). (3.) In Isa. 19:7 the river Nile is meant, as rendered in
     the Revised Version.
