¹⁸ Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

²⁴ Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?);

² Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;

⁸ And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.

²² `It is' he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;

¹ Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power.

⁴ Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.

⁵ Let them praise the name of Jehovah; For he commanded, and they were created.

⁶ He hath also established them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass away.

⁸ That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;

⁹ That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁷ And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

⁸ And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
