Strong's Lexicon shachaq: Sky, cloud, dust Original Word: שַׁחַק Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to pulverize Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3772 (ouranos): Often translated as "heaven" or "sky" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of the expanse above and the dwelling place of God. Usage: The Hebrew word "shachaq" primarily refers to the sky or the heavens, often in the context of clouds or the expanse above. It can also denote dust, emphasizing the transient and insubstantial nature of clouds or the heavens. This term is used to describe the physical sky as well as metaphorically to convey the majesty and vastness of God's creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the sky was seen as a testament to God's creative power and sovereignty. The heavens were often associated with divine presence and activity. The imagery of clouds and the sky was used in Hebrew poetry and prophecy to communicate God's majesty, mystery, and the ephemeral nature of human life compared to the eternal nature of God.
