Air @ the atmosphere, as opposed to the higher regions of the sky ( 1Thessalonians:4:17; Revelation:9:2Revelation:16:17). This word occurs once as the rendering of the Hebrew _ruah_ Job:41:16); elsewhere it is the rendering of _shamaiyim_, usually translated "heavens." The expression "to speak into the air" ( 1Corinthians:14:9) is a proverb denoting to speak in vain, as to "beat the air" ( 1Corinthians:9:26) denotes to labour in vain.
