George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Shut. Hebrew also, (Haydock) "facilitated the birth of the sea "as a midwife. (Grotius) (Calmet)
Forth. Septuagint, "raged. "(Haydock)
God represents the waters ready to overwhelm all when first produced out of nothing, if he had not shut them up in the abyss, like a child in a cradle, or a wild beast in its den, ver. 10. (Calmet)
