Usage: The adverb "ouranothen" is used to denote origin or source, specifically indicating something that comes "from heaven." It is often used in the context of divine intervention, revelation, or authority, emphasizing the heavenly origin of a message, event, or blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of heaven was often associated with the divine realm, the abode of the gods, and the source of divine authority and power.
