Genesis 1:6-8
“God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse Sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.”
This passage is from the opening chapter of Genesis, part of the creation narrative. It describes God's actions on the second day of creation, establishing a 'firmament' or 'expanse' to separate the primordial waters.
What does separating, ordering, and naming elements of our world reveal about how we might experience the divine today?
