Job 26:10
_ _ Rather, “He hath drawn a circular bound round the waters” (Proverbs 8:27; Psalms 104:9). The horizon seems a circle. Indication is given of the globular form of the earth.
_ _ until the day, etc. — to the confines of light and darkness. When the light falls on our horizon, the other hemisphere is dark. Umbreit and Maurer translate “He has most perfectly (literally, to perfection) drawn the bound (taken from the first clause) between light and darkness” (compare Genesis 1:4, Genesis 1:6, Genesis 1:9): where the bounding of the light from darkness is similarly brought into proximity with the bounding of the waters. |

Psalms 104:6-9 Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. ... Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Jeremiah 5:22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
