And so this spreading is either an exposition of the nature of the heavens (Gen. 1.8.) The Lord said, Let there be a firmament; the Hebrew is,* Let there be an expansion, or a stretching forth. These heavens are so much spread forth, that they are called, a thing spread forth; and so the text is a description of the heavens in their first Creation. Or, it may refer to the words going before, and so these are a reason to show that God can command the Sun, and seal up the stars, why? He spreadeth forth the heavens; that is, the heavens are all of his making, and at his disposing; he set the Sun there, and put the stars there, he fashioned the orbs in which they are placed, and therefore he can stay the Sun, and seal the stars.
