[QUOTE="FEZZILLA, post: 73615173, member: 8360"] The Bible was not written in English or English grammar & expressions. It was written in Hebrew and uses a vocabulary familiar to the Prophet who is writing God's message. The tent is the earth's atmosphere. Here is Isaiah 40:22 from Jerome's Latin Vulgate: Isaiah 40:22, [B]Latin Vulgate:[/B] [SIZE=4]"qui sedet super gyrum terrae et habitatores eius sunt quasi lucustae qui extendit velut nihilum caelos et expandit eos sicut tabernaculum ad inhabitandum"[/SIZE] [SIZE=5]Word: Gyrum (aka, Gyrus), from H2329: חוּג chûwg [/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Latin Definition[/SIZE] [SIZE=4][URL]https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/latin-word-8dce02c00388566751dfd448c6814ee23d104cb1.html?fbclid=IwAR3GwMSNZLXrr6ZH7ovQ8c_D859etdYFEccZ8lLMVk-Ls5jqrddKYHlbCGQ[/URL][/SIZE] [B][SIZE=5]Hebrew Lexicons for H2328 & H2329, חוּג Chuwg [/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=5]✅[B]The New Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,[/B] H2328. חוּג Chuwg, kloog; a prim. root [comp.2287]; to describe a circle:--compass [1x]."
