Hebrew him-dividing. Participle masculine verb to divide. Could also be read “him who is dividing”. See Strong’s #914. “Expanse” is from the Hebrew raqia (Strong’s #7549) and means canopy, extended surface, vault. A.k.a. a tent. Raqia is from the root raqa which means to beat, stamp, beat out, spread out.
