to the high-heavens
| Root | שמי (š-m-y) |
| Core Meanings | height, loftiness, sky, high place, heavens |
| Semantic Range | the visible sky, the celestial realm, the abode of God, the cosmic heights above the earth |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, the “heavens” signify both the physical sky and the transcendent dwelling place of the Most High, representing divine authority, sovereignty, and the realm from which revelation and judgment proceed. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine plural, determined (emphatic) state (שְׁמַיָּא) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to”). Corresponds to Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, a plural/dual form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root conveying height or loftiness, referring to the elevated expanse above. The form is Aramaic masculine plural in the determined (emphatic) state with the prefixed preposition לְ (“to”), hence “to the high-heavens,” preserving both plurality and definiteness. |
