Job 37:17-18

Context

37:17 You, whose garments are hot

when the earth is still because of the south wind,

37:18 will you, with him, spread out 1  the clouds,

solid as a mirror of molten metal?

[37:18]  1 tn The verb means “to beat out; to flatten,” and the analogy in the next line will use molten metal. From this verb is derived the word for the “firmament” in Gen 1:6-8, that canopy-like pressure area separating water above and water below.
