Thank you for your analysis of Genesis regarding the firmament. Trying to understand the meaning of the word "firmament" better. I looked up Strongs using the blueletterbible.org tool and it said the following:
Trying to understand better the part about "emptying" in your analysis. I believe strongly in the NT quotations regarding the kenosis and I just want to see how the link is made back to Genesis and the incarnation. Very interesting, thanks for your patience in this matter!

I am delighted to have your question!
The word firmament [[רקיע ]] is divided into it's sub roots [[רק]]-[[יע]].
:[[רק]] - empty H7386
:[[יע]] - his flesh (The subroot is not used alone as a word in the scripture, so you will not find it in Strong's)
You can see the metaphor of the ayin played out in [[ברע]] as 'in [[ב]] the revelation [[ר]] of flesh [[ע']], 'in [[ב]] evil [[רע]]', or 'son [[בר]] of evil/flesh [[ע]]'.
From the word firmament, we get that it is empty flesh as a foreshadowing of his kenosis.
