Ver. 11. Can the rush grow without mire?
It cannot. The original word for a rush speaks its nature; the root signifying to suck and drink in, or always to be guzzling down. The rush lives in liquor, and is always drinking. These abounded near the banks of Nilus in Egypt. There Moses was put into an Ark or skiff made of bulrushes, Exod. 2.3. The Prophet (Isa. 18.1, 2.) ⟨p. 73⟩tells us of a land, sending Ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters.1
