Heavens/Firmament yang diciptakan di hari II:
- Adalah tempat di mana benda-benda penerang hari IV diletakkan Tuhan ----> Luar Angkasa
Gen 1:14-15 "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.")
- Adalah tempat di mana burung unggas hari V terbang di atas bumi ----> Udara di atas Bumi
Gen 1:20 "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven."
Jadi pengertian Heavens/Firmament adalah lokasi di mana Benda Penerang berada (ayat ke-14-15) dan lokasi di mana burung terbang di atas bumi (ayat ke-20).
Atau dengan kata lain, Heavens/Firmament = Luar Angkasa & Udara di atas Bumi
PS:
Pada ayat ke-20 memang ada tambahan "open" dibandingkan dengan ayat ke-14 dan 15 yang mungkin penting.
Mungkin jika ada referensi dari kata-kata bahasa asli akan lebih jelas.........
