Lexicon :: Strong's H5645 - ʿāḇ

The LORD said to Moses, “I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you and will always believe you.” Moses reported the people’s words to the LORD,

LORD, when you came from Seir,

when you marched from the fields of Edom,

the earth trembled,

the skies poured rain,

and the clouds poured water.

He made darkness a canopy around him,

a gathering[fn] of water and thick clouds.

“is like the morning light when the sun rises

on a cloudless morning,

the glisten of rain on sprouting grass.”

On the seventh time, he reported, “There’s a cloud as small as a man’s hand coming up from the sea.”

Then Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Get your chariot ready and go down so the rain doesn’t stop you.’ ”

The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah.

Though his arrogance reaches heaven,

and his head touches the clouds,

“Clouds veil him so that he cannot see,

as he walks on the circle of the sky.”

He wraps up the water in his clouds,

yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.

Terrors are turned loose against me;

they chase my dignity away like the wind,

and my prosperity has passed by like a cloud.

Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out

or how the thunder roars from God’s pavilion?

He saturates clouds with moisture;

he scatters his lightning through them.

Do you understand how the clouds float,

those wonderful works of him who has perfect knowledge?

Can you command[fn] the clouds

so that a flood of water covers you?

He made darkness his hiding place,

dark storm clouds his canopy around him.

The clouds poured down water.

The storm clouds thundered;

your arrows flashed back and forth.

laying the beams of his palace

on the waters above,

making the clouds his chariot,

walking on the wings of the wind,

who covers the sky with clouds,

prepares rain for the earth,

and causes grass to grow on the hills.

When a king’s face lights up, there is life;

his favor is like a cloud with spring rain.

If the clouds are full, they will pour out rain on the earth;

whether a tree falls to the south or the north,

the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

before the sun and the light are darkened,

and the moon and the stars,

and the clouds return after[fn] the rain;

I will make it a wasteland.

It will not be pruned or weeded;

thorns and briers will grow up.

I will also give orders to the clouds

that rain should not fall on it.

“I will ascend above the highest clouds;

I will make myself like the Most High.”

For the LORD said to me:

I will quietly look out from my place,

like shimmering heat in sunshine,

like a rain cloud in harvest heat.

A pronouncement concerning Egypt:

Look, the LORD rides on a swift cloud

and is coming to Egypt.

Egypt’s worthless idols will tremble before him,

and Egypt will lose heart.

like heat in a dry land,

you will subdue the uproar of barbarians.

As the shade of a cloud cools the heat of the day,

so he will silence the song of the violent.

I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud,

and your sins like a mist.

Return to me,

for I have redeemed you.

Who are these who fly like a cloud,

like doves to their shelters?

Every city flees

at the sound of the horseman and the archer.

They enter the thickets

and climb among the rocks.

Every city is abandoned;

no inhabitant is left.
