pe.leg denotes watercourses, whether supplying a landscape or used for flowing oil, tears, and a king’s directed heart.

The occurrences chiefly portray watercourses that provide water in dry or cultivated settings; other verses extend the image to the flow of oil and tears and to a king’s heart being directed like watercourses.

1. Watercourses supplying land and life · dominant

   The plural form occurs with water in settings of mountains, dry land, streets, and a fruit-bearing tree: in Isaiah 30:25 the APB renders "brooks running with water," while Isaiah 32:2 and Psalm 1:3 portray water in a dry place and beside a transplanted tree. Proverbs 5:16 likewise places water flowing outward in the streets, and Psalm 65:10 places the singular construct form in a verse about drenching furrows and blessing growth.

2. Channels or flows used figuratively · common

   In Job 29:6 the plural construct form is associated with a rock pouring out "streams of oil." Lamentations 3:48 and Psalm 119:136 connect it with water descending from the eyes, while Proverbs 21:1 compares the king’s heart to "Streams of water" that the LORD turns.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB often presents the setting with "streams of water," and in Isaiah 30:25 with "brooks running with water"; it also uses the image for oil and tears. Its wording does not isolate the term in every occurrence, including Psalm 46:5, where no watercourse expression appears in the supplied rendering.
