Previous Verse < Job 37 > Next Verse

Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror? (ASV)

Pro

The sky is a solid dome, made of a hard crystalline material (see the Jude 1:14 article for more on this). --Robert Stevens 12:18, 9 Nov 2005 (CST)

Con

By the above Pro theory, you must also believe that the ancients really believed that there were flying jugs in the sky (Job 38:37). Hence, this is nothing but a metaphorical expression.

Neutral

Edit this section to note miscellaneous facts.

Job 38:37 "Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens"

This does not seem to refer to flying jugs, but another reference to the heavens being a solid structure, or firmament, and a holder of water.
