⁷ He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

¹⁶ Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.

⁸ By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

¹³ And when the feet of the priests who take up the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, come to rest in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan will be cut off, all the waters flowing down from higher up, and will come together in a mass.

¹⁵ The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.

²² Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

²⁹ When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:

⁶ Covering it with the sea as with a robe: the waters were high over the mountains;

⁷ At the voice of your word they went in flight; at the sound of your thunder they went away in fear;

⁸ The mountains came up and the valleys went down into the place which you had made ready for them.

⁹ You made a limit over which they might not go, so that the earth would never again be covered by them.

¹³ The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

⁸ Or where were you when the sea came to birth, pushing out from its secret place;

⁹ When I made the cloud its robe, and put thick clouds as bands round it,

¹⁰ Ordering a fixed limit for it, with locks and doors;

¹¹ And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?

¹⁰ By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

⁹ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

¹⁰ And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.
