Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Corresponds to the Hebrew שָׁמַיִם (shamayim)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3772: οὐρανός (ouranos) • sky, heaven Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of the sky or heavens, often referring to the physical expanse above the earth, including the atmosphere and outer space. It is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Context: The term שָׁמַיִן (shamayim) is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, both of which denote the sky or heavens. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the physical heavens, which include the atmosphere, the realm of the stars, and the dwelling place of God. The term appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, such as in the book of Daniel, where it is used to describe visions and divine revelations. For instance, in Daniel 4:11 (BSB), it is written, "The tree grew large and strong; its top reached the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth." This usage highlights the vastness and grandeur of the heavens as perceived in ancient times. The concept of the heavens in biblical literature often carries theological significance, symbolizing God's majesty, authority, and the divine order of creation.
