Water, the [[River (EBD)|river ]] (Ezra 8:21) by the banks of which the [[Jew (EBD)|Jewish ]] [[Exile (EBD)|exiles ]] assembled under [[Ezra (EBD)|Ezra ]] when about to return to [[Jerusalem (EBD)|Jerusalem ]] from [[Babylon (EBD)|Babylon]]. In all probability this was one of the streams of [[Mesopotamia (EBD)|Mesopotamia ]] which flowed into the [[Euphrates (EBD)|Euphrates ]] somewhere in the north-west of Babylonia. It has, however, been supposed to be the name of a place (Ezra 8:15) now called Hit, on the Euphrates, east of [[Damascus (EBD)|Damascus]].
