# fountain, fountains, source, sources, spring, springs, cause #

## Definition: ##

The terms "fountain" and "spring" usually refer to a large amount of water that flows out naturally from the ground.

* These words are also used figuratively in the Bible to refer to blessings flowing from God or to refer to something that cleanses and purifies.
* In modern times, a fountain is often a manmade object that has water flowing out of it, such as a drinking fountain. Make sure that the translation of this term refers to a natural source of flowing water.
* Compare the translation of this term with how the term "flood" is translated.
