Let the earth sprout [would be defined thus:] .õÆøÈàÈäàÅLÀãÇz
[6] Let there be a canopy. 31 .ÇòéÄ÷ÈøéÄäÀé [å] Let it [the earth] be full and covered íÓqÔkг̳ÐîêÑlÔôгÌz

when He said, “Let there be a canopy!” .Ô¼−ÌšÖþ−ÌíÐ−BþÐôÖêÐa 43
This is the intent of the verse, ,ëÔ³ÖkÓLeíÓïÐî Seed-yielding. .òÇøÆæÇòéÄøÀæÇî
[Meaning:] that its seed is grown within it B¼ÐþÔïBañÔðÐèÌiÓL
“The pillars of the heavens shuddered” ,eõÖõBþÐ−óÌ−ÔôÖL−ÑðenÔ¼

You may infer from this ,ÖzÐðÔôÖñêÖí
that they [the heavens] are suspended [in space] óÌ−eñÐzóÑíÓL With its seed within it. .Bá BòÀøÇæøÆLÂà
by command of the King. :CÓñÓôñÓLBþÖôÎêÔôÐa These are the kernels of every fruit −ÌþÐtñÖk−Ñò−̼ÐþÔböÑí

[7] Elohim made the canopy. 34 .ÇòéÄ÷ÈøÈäúÆàíéÄäGÁàNÇòÇiÇå [æ]

30 Thus ðìê óî− is rendered as “the day of the One.” 31 This implies that the heavens were being created now, on the
second day. But, did they not exist from the first day? 32 Iyov 26, 11. 33 µî³ë can be defined as: 1) amongst, or 2) 43 ¼−þïô is in the causative form, i.e., to cause growth elsewhere. 44 In Hebrew the adjective follows the noun. Thus,
in the middle. 34 There is a difficulty here. Were not the heavens created on the first day? 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 1 - B | 18-07-18 | 09:43:35 | SR:-- | Cyan 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 1 - B | 18-07-18 | 09:43:35 | SR:-- | Magenta 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 1 - B | 18-07-18 | 09:43:35 | S
