79:28

رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is the accusative object of رَفَعَ with the sky as its possessor. The preceding statement that God built the sky and the following statement that He proportioned it identify the target as its raised structural extent.
