    Comments: There are differences of scholarly opinion as to whether ὕψωμα in {S:04500803900004} is to be understood as a dimension of space (and as such, related to certain Pythagorean or NeoPlatonic concepts of elemental forces) or as the world above (as the location of alien demonic forces). For another interpretation of ὕψωμα in {S:04500803900004}, see {D:12.46}.|In contexts in which these expressions refer clearly to ‘heaven’ or ‘the sky,’ it is better to use terms meaning ‘heaven’ or ‘sky’ rather than terms meaning ‘height’ or ‘that which is high.’

    Comments: For another interpretation of ὕψωμα in {S:04500803900004}, see {D:1.13}.|It is possible that ὕψωμα in {S:04500803900004} should be interpreted merely as a reference to the distance which a person might be separated from God.
