1Some translate, And established my decree upon it; for the word place, is not expressed in the Text, there it is only and brake up my decree; but it is more clear to the general sense of the Text, and to the particular sense of the Hebrew word, to interpret it, of breaking up a decreed place for the sea, than of establishing a decree for the sea; which is a consequent of the former: and therefore I understand it only of a fitting room for the sea, here called a decreed place, or a place determined, a place not only sound out as convenient, but determined and set; I brake up for it my decreed place, or my statuted place, a place that I appointed by an ordinance of heaven, that place did I break up for it; that is, I made a vessel or channel like a cradle, big enough, and broad enough, and deep enough, to hold the vast waters of the sea. I brake up for it my decreed place.
