"Heavens" and "Earth" in the Hebrew Bible

Our modern views of Heaven and Earth are different from those of the biblical authors. A common modern view of Heaven is that it is a blissful place you go when you die. A common modern view of Earth is that it is a planet that revolves around the sun. In the Hebrew Bible, "heavens" means "sky" and also represents God’s space. In the Hebrew Bible, "earth" is the space of humanity and the animals. In the Hebrew Bible, the waters are a third space that can represent chaos or death.
