Genesis 1:20 has birds fly across the expanse and creatures teem in the waters — the separated domains made here now teem with life. Creation's structure becomes habitat.

Genesis 1:14 places lights in the expanse — the same vault God makes here to separate waters. Direct narrative continuation: structure made, then furnished.

Genesis 7:11 opens the floodgates above — the same upper waters God separated here. The flood reverses the expanse's protective barrier, un-making creation's order.

In 2 Peter 3:5, Peter alludes to this creation act, saying the earth was formed 'out of water and by water' through God's word — anchoring his argument about divine judgment in this primordial separation.

Psalm 19:1 celebrates how the heavens declare God's work, reflecting the ordered creation of the expanse above.

Psalm 136:6 extends the praise to God stretching out the earth over the waters, the broader context of the expanse.

Psalm 148:5 says 'at his command they were created' — echoing the divine command 'Let there be a vault' that initiated this act of separating waters.

Zechariah 12:1's 'stretches out the heavens' references the same creative act as establishing the firmament that separated waters.

In Job 37:18, the description of the sky's strength connects to God's architectural work in establishing the expanse.
