Genesis 1:1

Dual-Heavenly One(s) - Stretched out like Two Hands

Strong’s #8064, shamayym. This is a dual word, and only appears in the dual. Heavenly ones, but more specifically, dual heavenly ones as enayyim is the dual word for eyes, a pair of eyes, because we only have two, or kenaphayyim for a pair of wings etc., but more objectively because there is a symmetry or inverse reflection, or type-antitype. The one side is the inverse of the other. Sometimes the word is rendered “heavens” as though it meant something like the English plural “skies”. However, Isaiah 40:22 gives this liberal approach away as incorrect and misleading since the writer uses the masculine plural “he stretches them out” (like a pair of hands) in referring to the “Heavenly-ones”.
