He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.

And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of the waters He called Seas; and God saw that it was good.

And I shall remember My covenant, which is between Me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh.

You have set a boundary which they shall not pass, neither shall they turn again to cover the earth.

Will you not fear Me? Says the Lord; and will you not fear before Me, who has set the sand as a boundary for the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it. Yes, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
