MEDITATION

Genesis 1:6-8

6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 Thus 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. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

7神就造出空气,将空气以下的水、空气以上的水分开了。事就这样成了。
8神称空气为天。有晚上,有早晨,是第二日。
