You placed the ocean over it like a robe, and the water covered the mountains.

They flowed over the mountains and into the valleys, to the place you had made for them.

Then God commanded, "Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear"---and it was done.

He named the land "Earth," and the water which had come together he named "Sea." And God was pleased with what he saw.

He divided light from darkness by a circle drawn on the face of the sea.

Who closed the gates to hold back the sea when it burst from the womb of the earth?

I marked a boundary for the sea and kept it behind bolted gates.

and ordered the waters of the sea to rise no further than he said. I was there when he laid the earth's foundations.

I am the LORD; why don't you fear me? Why don't you tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary of the sea, a permanent boundary that it cannot cross. The sea may toss, but it cannot go beyond it; the waves may roar, but they cannot break through.

You blew on the sea and the water piled up high; it stood up straight like a wall; the deepest part of the sea became solid.

When the priests who carry the Covenant Box of the LORD of all the earth put their feet in the water, the Jordan will stop flowing, and the water coming downstream will pile up in one place."

the water stopped flowing and piled up, far upstream at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. The flow downstream to the Dead Sea was completely cut off, and the people were able to cross over near Jericho.

You trampled the sea with your horses, and the mighty waters foamed.
