Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 31:35

35 ¶ Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar, the LORD of hosts is his Name.

The word [non-Latin text not transcribed] is here ill translated divide, which hath led some Interpreters to think that God here hath a respect to his dividing the Red Sea, that the Israelites might pass over, which seemeth not at all here to be intended. The word indeed signifieth to divide, but it also signifieth to quiet and bring to rest, and is so interpreted, ch. 50.34. Is. 34.14. and in this very chap. ver. 2. and doubtless were better here translated, which quietteth the sea when the waves thereof roar. All the acts mentioned, are acts speaking the Divine Almighty power, of him who is the Lord of all the Regiments in the Hosts of the Creation.
