Into all the earth their measuring line has gone out, and to the extremity of the productive land their utterances. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

Ps. 19:1-6.

But in no part of the earth has this particular testimony not been provided. It fills the earth, as if measuring lines had been cast in every part of this planet.

The psalmist speaks of the sun’s having a tent in the visible heavens. Correspondingly, Job 22:14 speaks of the heavens arching over the earth like a “vault.” Also, Isaiah 40:22 speaks of God as “the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell.” Inside this figurative “tent” the sun moves daily like a nomad.
