Or who'shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;Young's Literal Translation
And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.Job 38:8 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleWho shut up the sea with doors - Who gathered the waters together into one place, and fixed the sea its limits, so that it cannot overpass them to inundate the earth? When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? - This is a very fine metaphor. The sea is represented as a newly born infant issuing from the womb of the void and formless chaos; and the delicate circumstance of the liquor amnii, which bursts out previously to the birth of the foetus, alluded to. The allusion to the birth of a child is carried on in the next verse. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge who Job 38:10 And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Psalm 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as an heap: he lays up the depth in storehouses. Psalm 104:9 You have set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. Proverbs 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Jeremiah 5:22 Fear you not me? said the LORD: will you not tremble at my presence... out Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it?
