It is used to describe the physical characteristics of something that is impenetrable or obscured, such as thick clouds that block light.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, weather phenomena like clouds and darkness were often seen as manifestations of divine activity. Thick clouds could symbolize God's presence, as seen in the theophany at Mount Sinai, where God descended in a dense cloud. Darkness, on the other hand, could represent judgment or the unknown, reflecting the ancient Near Eastern understanding of the cosmos as a place where divine and human realms intersected.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/5645.htm">ab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to becloud<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cloud (1), covered (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">עוּב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative Hiph`il</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>becloud</b></font>, <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יָעִיב בְּאַפוֺ אֲדֹנָי אֶתכַּֿתצִֿיּוֺן</font> <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/2-1.htm">Lamentations 2:1</a> (Bu <font class="hebrew2">הֵעִיב</font>). <p><font class="hebrew2">עוג</font> (√ of following, compare Late Hebrew <em>id. draw a circle</em>, <font class="hebrew2">עוּגָה</font> (circular) <em>ditch</em>;
