The neat thing about the Old Testament are that there are so many ways to view things when we step out of our “normal” ideas and what we have come to expect. The ancient world saw the cosmos quite different. It opens the readings more when we take a step back from our own times and ideas and hear how the people then would have heard the readings.
I like the explanation about the dome in Genesis. A more visual thought of the old world verses the modern concept.
