Heaven

[AllforJesustheLord]

Where does the word heaven come from? What does it mean in Greek, and in Hebrew?

Greetings AllforJesustheLord,

You could easily eliminate a lot of these simple questions by downloading a FREE copy of e-sword from:

http://www.esword.com

It contains more good study material than you could absorb in a lifetime. It is easy to you and for a small donation - I gave $10.00, you can get the CD sent to you and then update it from the site.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

P.S. I am not trying to be evasive, but it is better to "teach someone to fish, than just to keep giving them fish."

Allforjesusthelord,

You can download from the site for free. You do not have to buy the CD, that is just ONE option. Just go to the site and get it. It is called "freeware" and the stuff is public domain. It has Greek and Hebrew resources you can use. Very user friendly.

first of all, the threadholder has asked a very good and deep question that even e-sword cannot answer, secondly there are more than one heaven, thirdly, the strongs, thayers, and all concordances are not dictionaries, they merely show us the various ways a word is used elsewhere in the Bible. :

like any word, it may only be realized when contrasted with the surrounding words.

one can in no way find the meaning of a verse, or an ordinary sentence for that matter, by looking up the definitions of the individual words.

If I ask what does the word light mean, well that would depend on the contrasting word; which could be either darkness, or heaviness.

when looking at the word "heaven" for example, what is one to do when an understanding is reached, and then it is realized there are more than one heaven?

Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

This is poorly translated, as
