The root of the noun rāqîa is raqqəʿ a verb meaning to stamp, beat out or spread out, which is where the idea of “metal” comes into the picture because metal can be beaten and hammered into an extended surface.Īn English equivalent may be the word “wrought”. Strong’s Concordance says, “raqia: an extended surface, expanse,” and Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Hebrew and English Lexicon says, “extended surface, (solid) expanse (as if beaten out )". The Hebrew word translated as “firmament” is rāqîa. “And God said, 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters'” (Gen 1:6). ![]() I do, however, understand the question because the word "firmament" is used in Genesis chapter 1.

Your reproduction of God creating the Sun, the Moon and the Stars in the Firmament will arrive ready to hang straight on the wall without needing a frame. If you select the Gallery Wrap service, the wooden bars will be thicker, and the sides of the canvas will be painted as well, extending the painting out to the sides. If you wish to hang the painting without a frame, we recommend selecting the Gallery Wrap service. Stretching is usually done in preparation for framing the painting, that is, sliding the stretched painting into a wooden frame. The width of the bars will be about 0.5 inches / 1.5 cm. If you select the stretched option, your reproduction of God creating the Sun, the Moon and the Stars in the Firmament will be stretched over a timber frame and arrive ready to hang straight on the wall. For larger paintings, we recommend framing them locally. Please note that stretching and framing services are available up to certain sizes, as very large stretched or framed paintings may be damaged during shipping. If no option is selected, the painting will be shipped rolled in a heavy-duty tube, with extra blank canvas on all sides, allowing for easy framing or stretching locally. We offer a variety of options for framing and stretching your artwork.
