of the heavens
| Root | οὐρανός (ouranos) |
| Core Meanings | sky, heaven, high realm, elevated expanse, celestial domain |
| Semantic Range | the visible sky, the celestial sphere, the dwelling place of God, the realm of divine authority, the transcendent order, spiritual or eternal reality |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature, "the heavens" signify both the created celestial expanse and the dwelling place of God, expressing divine transcendence, authority, and kingship. The plural form often echoes Hebrew שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), reinforcing a worldview in which God rules from the exalted heavenly realms. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP,). Indicates possession, source, association, or description; plural form often reflects the Semitic-influenced expression "the heavens." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form (GMP) is reflected by the phrase "of the heavens," preserving both the possessive/source function of the genitive case and the plural number. "Heavens" maintains the elevated, expansive sense inherent in οὐρανός while retaining the common biblical plural usage. |
