The Horizon: God's Circle
Commentators like Barnes and Ellicott explain that this verse poetically describes the horizon at sea. From a human perspective, the horizon appears as a perfect circle that God has 'drawn' upon the water. This circle marks the boundary between the visible world (light) and what lies beyond our sight (darkness), showcasing God's power to bring order and design to creation.
