heavens

I would say heavens. There is an expression in English, "seventh heaven", meaning literally "highest of the heavens", but which has a more common figurative meaning of utter joy or delight. You may have heard someone say, "I'm in seventh heaven".

Here it would be "The 7 heavens are celestial" or something like that.

Very interesting article here:

http://www.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/Shokel/891103_7th_Heaven.htm...

about the origin of the phrase \"seventh heaven\". It seems that the notion of seven heavens is one primarily adhered to my Muslims, but Jews also believe in the idea, apparently.
