# the hills will flow with milk

"milk will flow from the hills." The land being very fertile is spoken of as if the hills would flow with milk. AT: "on the hills your cattle and goats will produce plenty of milk" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# all the brooks of Judah will flow with water

"water will flow through all the brooks of Judah"

# water the Valley of Shittim
