Firmament
firmament
- c.1250, from L. firmamentum "firmament," lit. "a support or strengthening," from firmus "firm," used in Vulgate to translate Gk. stereoma "firm or solid structure," which translated a Heb. word used of both the vault of the sky and the floor of the earth in the O.T. Apparently the O.T. writers believed the sky to be solid, like the ground. Or, if the Bible is infallible, the sky really is solid like the ground.
