And God said,
Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and
let the dry land appear:
and it was so.
All Commentaries on Genesis 1:9 Go To Genesis 1
John of Damascus
AD 749
Now, the fact that Scripture speaks of one gathering does not mean that they were gathered together into one place, for notice that after this it says: “And the gathering together of the waters he called seas.” Actually, the account meant that the waters were segregated by themselves apart from the earth. And so the waters were brought together into their gathering places and the dry land appeared.
