For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores.

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

为它定界限，又安门和闩，

是我为它划定界限，并安上门和闩，

我为海定界限，又安置门闩和门户，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

為它定界限，又安門和閂，

是我為它劃定界限，並安上門和閂，

我為海定界限，又安置門閂和門戶，

我為它定了界限，安設門閂門戶，

為定界限、而設門楗、

定其界址、設其門楗、

為定界限、為設門楗、

when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place,

I set limits for it. I put its doors and metal bars in place.

and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,

when I determined its boundaries and put its bars and doors in place,

And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors,

When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors;

And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

when I determined its boundaries and put its bars and doors in place,

And brake up for it my decreed[ place], and set bars and doors,

when I prescribed its limits, and set in place its bolts and doors,

marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,

Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the Lord, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set.

He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.

and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.

Then God said,“ Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.God called the dry ground“ land” and the waters“ seas.” And God saw that it was good.

He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
