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 comes from the first chapter of Genesis, part of the creation narrative. It describes the second day of creation, where God separates the primordial waters to form a structured cosmos.
What does this ancient understanding of the sky prompt in your own view of the natural world?
