God in heaven knows, the God in heaven knows that...

God in heaven knows, the God in heaven knows that...

God knows the truth. In context: the One who dwells in the heavens is witness to what really happened.

(“Rabbi, there was an incident in which I sold a gentile four kors of dates, and I measured them out for him in a dark house, half by half. He said to me: You and the God in heaven know the measure you are giving me.” — Yalkut Shimoni, Torah, Parashat Tzav, Remez 492; likewise: “The story of Hershel and the story of Blume are finished… How much ink will we spill, how many quills will we break to write their deeds. God in heaven knows when.” — Agnon, On the Handles of the Lock, A Simple Story, p. 214)
