The KJV renders 4 different Hebrew and Greek words as “heaven”
What it means
{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)}
(Aramaic) corresponding to H8064 (שָׁמַיִם)
How the KJV renders it
heaven
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
