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 them. Some relevant Strong's Hebrew entries include:
H6051 (עָנָן, anan): "cloud"
H5645 (עָב, av): "thick cloud, cloud mass"
H7834 (שַׁחַק, shachaq): "sky, cloud"

These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe God's presence, power, and actions in relation to the heavens and weather phenomena.

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, the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Its absence in biblical texts suggests that it was not a term adopted by early Christian writers or translators. In classical Greek literature, "Νεφεληγερέτα" is often used as an epithet for Zeus, the chief deity in Greek mythology, who was believed to control the weather and the skies. The imagery of cloud-raising is associated with divine power and authority over natural elements. While the term itself does not appear in the Bible, the concept of divine control over the weather is present in various biblical passages, where God is depicted as having authority over creation, including the clouds and the rain. For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, Job 37:11-12 speaks of God's control over the clouds: "He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them. They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth."
