(Heb. shamayim) (Gen. 1:1, 8, 9; 2:1; Ps. 2:4) Strong’s #8064: The Hebrew word for heavens may refer to either the physical heavens, the sky or atmosphere of earth (2:1, 4, 19), or to the dwelling place of God (Ps. 14:2), the spiritual heaven. The expression is probably derived from a word meaning “to be high, lofty.” To describe God as living in the heavens is to describe His exalted position over all people. The physical heavens testify to God’s glorious position and also to His creative genius (Ps. 19:1, 6).
