It is often understood as the sky or the heavens, serving as a dome-like structure that encompasses the earth. In the biblical creation narrative, it is described as a significant part of the ordered cosmos, demonstrating God's sovereignty and creative power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a firmament was common, often depicted as a solid dome or vault that held back cosmic waters. The biblical account in Genesis presents the raqia as part of God's intentional design, contrasting with other ancient myths by emphasizing a monotheistic creation by a sovereign God. The firmament was seen as a boundary between the divine and earthly realms, highlighting the order and structure of creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7554.htm">raqa</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an extended surface, expanse<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>expanse (16), expanse of heaven (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">רָקִיעַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Genesis 1:6</sup> <font size="+1"><b>extended surface</b></font>, (solid) <font size="+1"><b>expanse</b></font> (as if <em>beaten out</em>; compare <a href="/interlinear/job/37-18.htm">Job 37:18</a>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ר</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/1-22.htm">Ezekiel 1:22</a> +, construct <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">רְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-14.htm">Genesis 1:14</a> +; — <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">στερέωμα</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> <em>firmamentum</em>, compare Syriac below √above; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> (flat) <em>expanse</em> (as if of ice, compare <font class="hebrew2">כְּעֵין הַקֶּרַח</font>), as base, support (Wkl<sup>Altor.
