He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap, etc.] Which was done on the third day of the creation, by means of which the dry land appeared, (<010109>Genesis 1:9,10); when the waters of the sea were piled up as an heap, and stood higher than the earth, as they now do; and which is a wonderful instance of the power and providence of God, to bound them, and preserve the earth from being overflowed by them, (<183809>Job 38:9-11); he layeth up the depth in storehouses; that is, large quantities of water, for which he has his treasure houses, as for the wind, hail and snow, (<19D507>Psalm 135:7 <183816>Job 38:16,22); and these are the clouds of heaven above, and the fountains of the great deep below, which the Lord opens and stops at his pleasure; (see <010711>Genesis 7:11 8:2).
