'Surface' in the Bible

He sends rain on the surface of the earth, and waters the surface of the open country.

"They remain only a short time on the water's surface; their inheritance will be cursed in the land; no one will work in their vineyards.

He has delimited a boundary over the surface of the oceans as a limit between light and darkness.

It whirls about in circles at his direction to accomplish all that he commands throughout the surface of the entire world,

when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?
