It is common for New Testament writers to speak of the Holy Spirit as a liquid that could be poured. AT: "gave the Holy Spirit to us generously" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
The people to whom God has made promises are spoken of as if they were to inherit property and wealth from a family member. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
