Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "νεφέλη" (nephélē), meaning "cloud," and "ἐγείρω" (egeirō), meaning "to raise" or "to lift up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "Νεφεληγερέτα," several Hebrew words relate to clouds and divine control over the weather. These include:
• H6051 (עָנָן, anan): Meaning "cloud," used in contexts where God is described as appearing in or controlling clouds (e.g., Exodus 13:21).
• H6960 (קָוָה, qavah): Meaning "to wait for" or "to look for," sometimes used in contexts of waiting for divine intervention or weather changes (e.g., Isaiah 40:31).
• H5591 (סְעָרָה, se'arah): Meaning "storm" or "tempest," used in contexts where God demonstrates power through storms (e.g., Psalm 107:29).

These Hebrew terms reflect the biblical theme of God's dominion over the natural world, aligning with the broader theological understanding of divine sovereignty.

Usage: This term does not appear in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It is a classical Greek term often used in ancient literature to describe deities or figures associated with the sky or weather phenomena.

Context: The term "Νεφεληγερέτα" is not found in the New Testament scriptures, nor is it used in the Septuagint or other early Christian writings. Its absence in biblical texts suggests that it was not a term adopted by early Christians to describe God or any divine action. In classical Greek literature, "Νεφεληγερέτα" was sometimes used as an epithet for Zeus, the chief deity in Greek mythology, who was often associated with weather and the sky. The imagery of cloud-raising is consistent with ancient perceptions of divine control over natural elements. In a biblical context, while the term itself is not used, the concept of God controlling the weather is present, as seen in passages where God commands the elements, such as in Job 37:11-12 and Psalm 135:7. These passages reflect the belief in God's sovereignty over creation, a theme prevalent throughout the Bible.
