The KJV renders 7 different Hebrew and Greek words as “cloud”
What it means
a powder (as beaten small); by analogy, a thin vapor; by extension, the firmament
from H7833 (שָׁחַק);
How the KJV renders it
cloud, small dust, heaven, sky
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“cloud”
“heaven”
“sky”
also renders ouranós (G3772)
