8 Bible Verses about Waters Dividing

God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

Then God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”

The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens
And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth,
He who calls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth,
The Lord is His name.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.

Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth,
To a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the Lord of hosts
From a people tall and smooth,
Even from a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation,
Whose land the rivers divide—
To the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, even Mount Zion.

Your bow was made bare,
The rods of chastisement were sworn. Selah.

“He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.
