Hebrew:שמים

Noun, sing., masc.:

• heaven, sky (Strong 8064)

Misc:

• that water

I may mean the atmosphere (as in "birds of heaven") or outer space (as in "stars of heaven").

Victor Porton suspects that this word means "galaxies".

Exegesis:Genesis_2:1 suggests that "the heaven" is not the entire universe.
