Genesis 1:7-8

1:7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. ¹  It was so. ²  1:8 God called the expanse “sky.” ³  There was evening, and there was morning, a second day.

[1:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the expanse.”

[1:7]  ² tn This statement indicates that it happened the way God designed it, underscoring the connection between word and event.

[1:8]  ³ tn Though the Hebrew word can mean “heaven,” it refers in this context to “the sky.”
