The '''firmament''' is the sky, conceived as a solid dome.<ref name="NewAdvent">"Firmament", ''Catholic Encyclopedia''</ref> According to Genesis, God created the firmament to separate the "waters above" the earth from those below: "And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."<ref>{{bibleverse|Genesis|1:6|KJV}}</ref> The word is anglicized from Latin ''firmamentum'', which appears in the [[Vulgate]].
