The moon is not the firmament, neither is the Crab Nebula. The ancient authors of the bible actually thought that there were waters above the dome of the sky (a dome only works over a flat surface, so you can see where this came from), and the floodgates in the firmament opened up to give rain. Of course the sun, moon, and stars moved through the sky underneath the firmament. I even have a study bible which points out that this is how the bible authors viewed the world:
