The "upper rooms" suggest a heavenly dwelling, indicating God's transcendence above creation. This imagery is reminiscent of ancient Near Eastern architecture, where upper rooms were often places of importance and authority. Biblically, it aligns with passages like <a href="/isaiah/66.htm">Isaiah 66:1</a>, where heaven is described as God's throne, underscoring His supreme authority over all creation.and founds His vault upon the earth. The "vault" refers to the firmament or expanse, a concept rooted in the creation narrative of <a href="/genesis/1-6.htm">Genesis 1:6-8</a>, where God separates the waters and establishes the sky. This phrase highlights God's creative power and His ability to establish order in the cosmos. It also reflects the ancient understanding of the world, where the sky was seen as a solid dome. Theologically, it speaks to God's immanence, His presence and activity within the world He has made.He summons the waters of the sea This phrase illustrates God's control over the natural elements, echoing the creation account where God gathers the waters (<a href="/genesis/1-9.htm">Genesis 1:9-10</a>). It also recalls the Flood narrative in <a href="/genesis/7.htm">Genesis 7</a>, where God commands the waters to cover the earth. In a broader biblical context, it signifies God's authority over chaos, as the sea often symbolizes disorder and danger. This control is further seen in Jesus calming the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, a typological connection to God's power over creation.and pours them over the face of the earth. Here, the imagery of God pouring waters over the earth can be seen as a reference to both judgment and blessing. In the context of Amos, it may allude to the impending judgment on Israel, similar to the Flood. However, it also reflects God's provision, as water is essential for life and growth, aligning with passages like <a href="/isaiah/55-10.htm">Isaiah 55:10-11</a>, where rain symbolizes God's word nourishing the earth. This duality of judgment and blessing is a recurring theme in prophetic literature.The LORD is His name. This declaration affirms the identity and character of God, using the covenant name YHWH, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature. It is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His relationship with His people, as seen in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14-15</a>, where God reveals His name to Moses.

So the Vulgate here renders fasciculum suum, with the notion that the stories or chambers just mentioned are bound together to connect heaven and earth. But the clause means, God hath founded the vault or firmament of heaven upon (not in) the earth, where his throne is placed, and whence he sends the rain.
