Here are the definitions of the words aguddah and arubbah on Biblehub.

Arubbah literally means "lattice windows" (or windows in the lattice). It can be translated as "floodgates of the heavens." The floodgates are obviously openings that God made to allow the rain to fall from the "waters above" to flood the earth, but what is the lattice (heavens)?

Aguddah means "bands" or vault/dome. The word can be translated as "structure." A vaulted roof in a church or cathedral is structured from bands that form a lattice.

What exactly is being described in these verses?
