DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of νέφος ‘cloud,’ not occurring in the NT) a large crowd of people
Glosses: large crowd
Comments: In {S:05801200100016} a possible supplementary component of ‘heavenly’ is applicable, since the reference is to the heroes of faith mentioned in chapter 11. In general one cannot preserve the figure of speech, nor even a term meaning ‘crowd,’ since the persons in chapter 11 did not form a crowd historically. A more common equivalent of ‘large crowd of witnesses’ is ‘many, many witnesses.’
