The Hebrew word for "part" is "natah," which means to stretch out or extend. This imagery suggests an active and powerful movement by God, as if He is pulling back the curtain of the sky to reveal His presence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the heavens were often seen as a barrier between the divine and human realms. By parting the heavens, God is portrayed as breaking through this barrier to engage directly with His creation. This action signifies God's willingness to intervene in human affairs, demonstrating His sovereignty and authority over the cosmos. O LORD and come down Parallel Commentaries ...
