Genesis 1:6 – Matty (Headwind)

To discern: בִּין – bin

and said God Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters – let it divide a space between the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) Interlinear

The Hebrew words bayin – בֵּין and bin – בִּין are very nearly the same word. They’re part of the meaning of a root which means: to understand nuance, to separate between.

A space between: בֵּ֥ין – bayin

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) KJV

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
(Genesis 1:4) KJV

Dividing the water above the firmament from the water below below it required physical space. Likewise, dividing the light from the darkness isn’t the alternation of day and night, it’s also the their separation by a physical space.

He Defended It

And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines. But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
(2 Samuel 23:11-12) KJV

People needed to eat so Shammah defended the lentils. This may seem like an odd departure from our study of the cosmos, however, let’s step back for a moment and consider what’s happening here.

The Firmament

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
(Revelation 15:2) KJV

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
(Genesis 1:6) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) conclude that the firmament is a sphere of rigid crystal on the edge of space. This solves several problems in both scripture and physics.

Separation

And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
(Genesis 1:4) ESV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have come to understand that the Earth is part of an ongoing process of permanent, physical separation of light from darkness. The process isn’t complete. Yet.
