Do you remember the post I made about the “separation
between the waters”? See below for more!
Genesis 1:7: “Between
the Waters That Are Below the Dome and the Waters That Are Above the Dome”
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ אֱלֹהִים֮ אֶת־הָרָקִיעַ֒ וַיַּבְדֵּ֗ל בֵּ֤ין הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ מִתַּ֣חַת לָרָקִ֔יעַ וּבֵ֣ין הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר מֵעַ֣ל לָרָקִ֑יעַ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃
“When
God made the dome, he made a separation between the
waters that are below the dome and between the
waters that are above the dome. And it was so.”
This verse represents what happened after God and
spoke this dome into existence. We
briefly touched on the waters below the dome and the waters above the dome last
time, but I thought I’d spell it out a little more in today’s post.
Check out this helpful chart to see this more
visually. Notice the “windows” in the dome separating the waters above from everything
below. The “waters above” are released through these windows (or openings)
during the flood narrative as rain, and the fountains of the great deep burst
forth (see Genesis 6:11).

What do you make of this “ancient Hebrew cosmology”
stuff? I’m interested in hearing what you have to say.
