Strong's Lexicon homichlé: Mist, Fog Original Word: ὁμίχλη Word Origin: Derived from a primary word meaning "to cover" or "to obscure." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of mist or fog is עָב (H5645, "av"), which can mean cloud or thick darkness, as seen in passages like Exodus 19:9. Usage: The Greek word "ὁμίχλη" (homichlé) refers to a mist or fog, often used metaphorically to describe something that obscures vision or understanding. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of spiritual or moral obscurity, where clarity is lacking. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, mist and fog were common natural phenomena that could obscure vision and make navigation difficult. This imagery was often used in literature and rhetoric to symbolize confusion, lack of understanding, or the transient nature of life. In a biblical context, mist can represent the fleeting and uncertain nature of human life and understanding apart from divine revelation.
