Genesis 1:7

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

when he made the clouds from above, when the springs of the depths were established,

"He restricts the waters within clouds and the clouds don't burst open under them.

He causes springs to gush forth into rivers that flow between the mountains.

Praise him, you heaven of heavens, and you waters above the heavens.

If the clouds are full of rain, they will pour out on the earth; if a tree falls toward the south or the north, wherever it falls, there it will lay.

Then God said, "Let the water beneath the sky come together into one area, and let dry ground appear!" And that is what happened:

The men were amazed. "What kind of man is this?" they asked. "Even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Then the LORD spoke to the sea creature, and it spewed Jonah onto the dry land.
