Water, the [[Text:EBD:River|river ]] (Ezra 8:21) by the banks of which the [[Text:EBD:Jew|Jewish ]] [[Text:EBD:Exile|exiles ]] assembled under [[Text:EBD:Ezra|Ezra ]] when about to return to [[Text:EBD:Jerusalem|Jerusalem ]] from [[Text:EBD:Babylon|Babylon]]. In all probability this was one of the streams of [[Text:EBD:Mesopotamia|Mesopotamia ]] which flowed into the [[Text:EBD:Euphrates|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 [[Text:EBD:Damascus|Damascus]].
