In ancient times, a man named Elihu gave God the credit for this process, saying: “He draws up drops of water from the sea and distils rain from the mist he has made. ” ​ — Job 36: 27, The New English Bible.
Ēlihus teica: ” Viņš liek pacelties no jūras augšup ūdens pilieniem, lai tie no tvaikiem, kurus Viņš rada, atkal kā lietus pilētu lejup. ” ( Ījaba 36: 27.)
