Welcome to this episode of Two-Minute Bible Videos, TMBV: The Word Translated as “Firmament” in Genesis 1 • In this Two-Minute Bible Video (TMBV), Professor John M. Cimbala discusses some of the confusion caused by the unfortunate translation of the Hebrew word raqia as the old English word firmament (e.g., in the King James Version). He points out the different meanings of that Hebrew word, one of which involves spreading out. Modern translations of the Bible use the word expanse instead of firmament. Expanse is a much better translation and agrees well with our knowledge of modern astronomy. • If you liked this video, please subscribe to Dr. Cimbala's YouTube channel at / @johncimbala to be informed when new videos are posted. • You can also watch all related short videos with one click by going to one of Dr. Cimbala's playlists: • Two-Minute Bible Videos: • Two-Minute Bible Videos - Helping you... • Two-Minute Science Videos: • Two-Minute Science Videos - Helping y... • Two-Minute Excel Tutorials: • Two-Minute Excel Tutorials - Helping ... • Dr. John M.
