Strong's Lexicon anan: Cloud Original Word: עָנַן Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anan Pronunciation: ah-nan Phonetic Spelling: (aw-nan') Definition: Cloud Meaning: to mourn, complain Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנַן (H6049), which means "to cover" or "to cloud over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3507 (νεφέλη, nephele): Often used in the New Testament to describe clouds, particularly in the context of divine presence or eschatological events (e.g., Matthew 17:5, Revelation 1:7). Usage: The Hebrew word "anan" primarily refers to a cloud or clouds. In the biblical context, it often signifies the physical clouds in the sky but also carries deeper symbolic meanings. Clouds in the Bible can represent God's presence, guidance, and protection, as well as His judgment and mystery. They are frequently associated with divine appearances and theophanies, where God manifests Himself to humanity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, clouds were often seen as symbols of divine presence and power. In the Hebrew Bible, clouds are particularly significant in the context of the Exodus, where they symbolize God's guidance and protection over the Israelites. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night were manifestations of God's presence with His people. Additionally, clouds are associated with God's glory and majesty, as seen in various prophetic and apocalyptic visions.
