Verse 2
"The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained."
Until a more normal situation prevailed, the wind was a great blessing, but when the ocean had returned to its usual level with reference to the land, such a wind would no longer have been a blessing but a great detriment. (See under the preceding verse.) Significantly, the wind, as an instrument of God, appears prominent in Jonah, and also in the opening of a passage through the Red Sea for the deliverance of Israel from Egypt.
"The fountains also of the deep ... were stopped ..." "This can mean only one thing; the land level was shifted again, so that the sea went back to its former place or nearly so."[4]
