Amos 9:6 (King James Version)
It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
- buildeth
- Psalms 104:3 Psalms 104:13
- stories
- or, spheres. Hebrew ascensions.

- troop
- or, bundle.
- Genesis 2:1
- {Aguddah} probably is the same as the Arabic {ijad,} "an arch, vault," and may here denote the vault of heaven, or atmosphere, which God "hath founded, or established, upon, or over, {l,} the earth," and into which "he calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth."
