Shamayim is always plural in form — the heavens. It covers the visible sky and the “heaven of heavens,” the dwelling place of God.

Genesis 1:1 sets the scene with shamayim and eretz; the Psalms revel in the shamayim declaring God’s glory; Revelation closes with a new shamayim. The Bible loves a sky that points to its Maker.

Strong's reference

Definition: the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve)
