Definition: The term "albopruinose" comes from Greek, and its Hebrew translation would be "miasma," which refers to a thick fog or cloud of moisture that sometimes obscures the sight of things. This term is used in the Bible primarily to describe an area where heavy rains have occurred due to excessive evaporation. In biblical terms, the clouds were called albopruinose because they frequently covered the land and caused severe flooding. The term is most commonly associated with the Egyptian or Greek belief that the Nile River's floods were caused by a mist of rain that hung in the sky. This mist was considered to be a manifestation of God's punishment for sin, as it brought down upon Egypt many of its enemies.
