Deuteronomy 32:2

"My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass."

"Distill" is a very interesting word choice here, for that is exactly how dew forms! Distillation requires a cooling of vapor so that condensation produces liquid, exactly what happens to warm surfaces after a cool, windless night. This passage was written by Moses about 1,000 years before the Golden Age of Athens, and nearly 3,000 years before the Renaissance. Pretty good science for a Bronze Age man — or was it Something Else?
