Some of the key elements of the so-called meteorological interpretation of the biblical creation narrative that we encounter in the works of medieval Jewish philosophers can be traced back to Syriac sources and ultimately to John Philoponus' treatise on the creation of the world. Philoponus argued that the words "water," "firmament," and "heavens" were used equivocally in the biblical text and that the creation narrative can be understood in terms of meteorological processes. Philoponus' tract was utilized by Jacob of Edessa, whose Syriac work on creation was probably one of the sources of Da'ūd al-Muqammaṣ's Judeo-Arabic commentary on the creation narrative. Saadia Gaon and Jacob al-Qirqisānī drew Philoponian ideas from al-Muqammaṣ's work and transmitted them to later generations of Jewish exegetes.
