Footnotes
| 18b | cf. Ezekiel 1:22-24 for a vision of this firmament [raqia]. |
| 19 | Strong’s #3651, ken. Upright, firm, erect, base, pedestal. From kun (#3559) to be set upright. Supposedly used in many figurative or non-literal ways, i.e. thus, right, so, honest, etc. BDB admits that the meaning is “sometimes to be elicited from the context.” It represents an upright support, base, or stand. “…the basin and אֶת-his stand [ken].” Ex. 31:9 literal Another word, koh (#3541), is obviously more fitting for thus or so as found in Gen 15:5, 22:5, etc. |
