Genesis 1:6

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶Then God said, “Let there be an expanse^[a] between the waters, separating water from water.”^(A)

Genesis 1:6 The Hb word for expanse is from a root meaning “to spread out, stamp, beat firmly,” which suggests something like a dome; Jb 37:16-18; Is 40:22.
