Some refer this to the breaking up the fountains of the great deep at the flood, ( Genesis 7:11); and others to the dividing of the waters of the Red sea when Israel came out of Egypt, ( Psalm 78:13); all wonderful works of divine wisdom, and show the greatness of him, in whom are “hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge”, ( Colossians 2:3), by whom they were done; and the clouds drop down the dew ; which makes the earth fruitful, and is put for all the blessings of nature, ( Genesis 27:28); the drops of dew are begotten by the Lord, they have no other father but him; the vanities of the Gentiles cannot produce them; he who fills the clouds with them, from whence they descend, is no other than the mighty God; and such is Christ the Wisdom of God. Some understand this in a mystical sense of Gospel ministers, and of the dew of Gospel doctrine, dropped and distilled by them under the influence and direction of Christ; see ( Deuteronomy 32:2); but the literal sense is best.
