"Who alone stretches out the heavens" (Job 9.8).

"Stretching out the heavens like a tent curtain" (Psalm 104.2).

"Who stretches out the heavenes like a curtain, and strethes them out like a tent to dwell in" (Isaiah 40.22).

"He has stretched out the heavens" (Jer. 10.12).

"The Lord who stretches out the heavens" (Zech. 12.1).

Space is not an empty vacuum:
"torn": Isaiah 64.1
"worn out like a garment": Psalm 102.25
"shaken": Heb. 12.26, Haggai 2.6, Isaiah 13.13
"burnt up": 2 Peter 3.12
"split apart" like a scroll: Rev. 6.14
"rolled up" like a mantle or a scroll: Heb. 1.12, Isaiah 34.4

There is some dimension in space that it must be "thin" to be rolled up. Space can be "bent". It can be bent towards a direction. Thus, according to the Bible, there must be additional spacial dimensions.

Hyperdimensions:
In the 12th century Nachmonides said there were ten dimensions, in which 4 were knowable but 6 were not (Commentary on Genesis, 1263). He is one of the two most venerated Hebrew sages of the 12th-13th centuries. He derived his finding by studying Genesis chapter 1.

"that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God" (Eph. 3.17-19). I see 4 dimensions here. Length is another word for time.
