📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, which is the first book of the Bible, Moses records the creation story as revealed by God, describing how the world was formed in six days. On the second day, God created the firmament by separating the waters above from those below and named it Heaven, emphasizing His role as the orderly designer of the universe. This account contrasts with ancient Near Eastern myths that involved multiple deities, presenting instead a monotheistic view of God's sole authority over creation.
