Heaven:
There are four Hebrew words thus rendered in the Old Testament which we may briefly notice.
(1.) Raki'a, Authorized Version, firmament. SEE [FIRMAMENT].
(2.) Shamayim. This is the word used in the expression "the heaven and the earth," or "the upper and lower regions." (Genesis 1:1).
(3.) Marom, used for heaven in Psalm 18:16; Isaiah 24:18; Jeremiah 25:30. Properly speaking it means a mountain as in Psalm 102:19; Ezekiel 17:23.
(4.) Shechakim, "expanses," with reference to the extent of heaven (Deuteronomy 33:26; Job 35:5). St. Paul's expression "third heaven," (2 Corinthians 12:2) had led to much conjecture. Grotius said that the Jews divided the heaven into three parts, viz.,
(a.) The air or atmosphere, where clouds gather;
(b.) The firmament, in which the sun, moon and stars are fixed;
(5c.) The upper heaven, the abode of God and his angels, the invisible realm of holiness and happiness the home of the children of God.
