It is the firmament between two waters::. <ref>[[Ge 1:6]] ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. </ref> Sometimes the focus is on the firmament reconciling the two things rather than dividing. So although it CAN mean war, it can also mean peace. The context is king.

It can refer to the one who created or the creation, the time of creation (the beginning), the river between two lands, or the thing that divides two nations in war or joins them in peace.
