Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H8064 שָׁמַיִם (shamayim): Often translated as "heavens" or "sky," this Hebrew term corresponds to the Greek concept of πόλος in its depiction of the celestial realm. Usage: In ancient Greek literature, πόλος is frequently used to describe the celestial poles or the heavens. In the context of the New Testament, its usage is more metaphorical, often relating to the overarching order or structure of the cosmos as understood in the ancient world. Context: The Greek term πόλος appears in the New Testament as a concept rather than a direct reference. It embodies the ancient understanding of the universe's structure, where the heavens were perceived as a dome revolving around the earth. This term is not directly quoted in the Berean Standard Bible but underlies the biblical worldview of a divinely ordered cosmos. The idea of πόλος can be seen in passages that speak of the heavens and the earth's foundations, reflecting the belief in a structured and purposeful creation. The term aligns with the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over the universe, as seen in verses that describe the heavens declaring the glory of God (e.g., Psalm 19:1 in the BSB). While πόλος itself is not explicitly mentioned, its conceptual presence is felt in the biblical narrative's depiction of the heavens and the earth.
