Exegesis
What follows is a piling up of abundance imagery through a chain of water terms: biflaggot {בִפְלַגּוֹת | bip̄laggôṯ} ‘streams’ is specified by the construct naharei {נַהֲרֵי | nahărê} ‘of rivers,’ which is further extended by nakhalei {נַחֲלֵי | naḥălê} ‘of wadis,’ creating a compressed, poetic stack that heightens the sense of overflowing plenty.
Root and etymology
consonantspe–lamed–gimel
“to divide, channel”
In context — Job 20:17
He will not see the streams, the rivers, the wadis of honey and curds .
