“To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.”
When he made a weight for the wind and meted out the waters by measure, describing divine creative action that establishes fixed measurements and proportions for cosmic elements. The making of a weight for the wind suggests that divine creation imposes order and measure on what appears unmeasurable, that wind's apparent randomness actually flows according to divine determination. The meting out of waters by measure asserts that divine creation established precise quantities for water, that the cosmos operates according to divine calculation. The verse depicts God as the cosmic engineer whose wisdom established the principles by which creation operates.
