קבלה אויף משלי 25:3

Now, although we find a verse that states,¹⁸⁶Proverbs 25:3 “The heavens are to the heights-Rom-רום and the earth is to the depths-Omek-עומק,” this does not at all pose any difficulty to our words. For, in truth, these matters do not depart from their simple astronomical meaning. That is, as known, the heavens are higher than the earth. Now, because the heavens are higher than the earth, and encompass and surround it, a person might think to say that the heavens surrounding [the other side of planet] earth are below it, and are at a very great depth, in that they are very far below the earth. However, this is not so, for nothing in the world is lower than the earth and its offspring. This is because, relative to the earth, the heavens below the earth, are higher.
