Part of speech: advb.

Sense 1: from the sky

Semantic entry: 1.9

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Subdomains: Regions Above the Earth

Definition: the sky as a source or as a location from which implied movement takes place

Notes: οὐρανόθεν in OET ACT 14:17 and OET ACT 26:13 is somewhat ambiguous, for both events may be regarded as involving a semantic derivative of οὐρανός [source selector 000001][b] heaven (1.11: οὐρανός) rather than οὐρανός[a] sky (1.5: οὐρανός). In OET ACT 14:17 one might very well translate ‘he gives rain from heaven,’ since obviously the agent is God. Similarly, in OET ACT 26:13 the light might come from heaven, since the light is presumably regarded as a supernatural phenomenon.
