  3. Quotes verse 150:1 Basil of Caesarea, Hexaemeron (Homily III)

    "The Lord my firmament and refuge." "I have strengthened the pillars of it." "Praise him in the firmament of his power." The heathen writers thus call a strong body one which is compact and full, to distinguish it from the mathematical body.
