1The word is of the Dual Number in the Hebrew, and so it signifies both sorts of water; the waters of heaven, and the waters of the earth, the upper and the nether waters, the •pper waters in the Clouds, and the nether waters in the Springs. We find them spoken of together in the first of Genesis at the 7th verse; God divided the waters which were under the firmament, from the waters which were above the firmament. We find the upper waters spoken of singly (Psal. 104.3.) Who layest the beams of the chambers in the waters; Chambers are above. And in the first of Genesis at the 9th verse, we find the lower waters alone; Let the waters be gathered together under the heavens. 2Under-heaven waters are the lower waters. One of the Rabbis renders the words thus; He multiplieth the drops of rain; and the reason of it is (which falls in with our translation) because the less any one thing is made, the more is the general mass, out of which it is made, multiplied.
