“When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: a compass: or, a circle”
Proverbs 8:27 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 8:27
When God prepared the heavens, wisdom was there; when He set a compass on the deep's face. The Hebrew 'kuwn' (prepare/establish) and 'chuwg' (circle/compass/vault) describe creation's ordering. Wisdom wasn't merely observer but participant in creation. The 'compass on the deep' likely refers to horizon's circular boundary or earth's spherical shape. God's creative wisdom produced ordered cosmos from chaos.
