Are there multiple "heavens"?

English to Hebrew to Genesis:

"Heaven" - haš-šā-ma-yim, and šā-mā-yim

• haš-šā-ma-yim (Strong's 8064) - can mean the starry heavens, sky, or abode of God

Gen. 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Gen. 1:9, "Then God said, 'Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear'; and it was so."

Gen. 1:14, "Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;'"

Gen. 1:20, " . . . 'Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.'"

Gen. 1:26, "'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth . . .'"

• šā-mā-yim (Strong's 8064) -  same root word as "haš·šā·ma·yim"

Gen. 1:8, "God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

"Expanse" - rā-qî-a‘, hā-rā-qî-a‘, lā-rā-qî-a‘, and bir-qî-a‘

• rā-qî-a‘ (Strong's 7549) - can mean a general expanse/support to God's throne or a firmament supporting waters above

Gen. 1:6, " . . . 'Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.'"

Gen. 1:20, " . . . 'Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.'"

•  hā-rā-qî-a‘ (Strong's 7549) - same root word as "rā-qî-a‘"

Gen. 1:7, "God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so."

•  lā-rā-qî-a‘ (Strong's 7549) - same root word as "rā-qî-a‘"

Gen. 1:7, "God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so."

Gen. 1:8, "God called the expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."

•  bir-qî-a‘ (Strong's 7549) - same root word as "rā-qî-a‘"

Gen. 1:14, " . . . 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night' . . ."

I'm beginning to be impressed that English doesn't do full justice to the Hebrew.
