From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or
      hillock, the application arising from the frequent
      resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or
      air.]
      1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,
            suspended in the upper atmosphere.
  
                     I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.
  
      Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief
               forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,
               and this is still substantially employed. The following
               varieties and subvarieties are recognized:
            (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms
                  of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like
                  carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,
                  sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is
                  the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of
                  the landsman.
            (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a
                  hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat
                  below, one often piled above another, forming great
                  clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the
                  appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It
                  often affords rain and thunder gusts.
            (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands
                  extending horizontally.
            (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform
                  gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in
                  seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and
                  is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used
                  to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.
            (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,
                  of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are
                  more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is
                  popularly called mackerel sky.
            (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus
                  coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.
            (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,
                  often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.
                  -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near
                  or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm
                  scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven
                  rapidly with the wind.
  
      2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling
            vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.
  
      3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;
            hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's
            reputation; a cloud on a title.
  
      4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;
            that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or
            depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud
            upon the intellect.
  
      5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So
            great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.
  
      6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the
            head.
  
      {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,
            usually superficial and capable of removal by release,
            decision in equity, or legislation.
  
      {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;
            to be in disfavor.
  
      {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond
            reason; visionary.

      wants of a teeming population were supplied by a rich soil, not
      less bountiful than that on the banks of the Egyptian Nile. Like
      islands rising from a golden sea of waving corn stood frequent
      groves of palm-trees and pleasant gardens, affording to the
      idler or traveller their grateful and highly-valued shade.
      Crowds of passengers hurried along the dusty roads to and from
      the busy city. The land was rich in corn and wine."
     
         Recent discoveries, more especially in Babylonia, have thrown
      much light on the history of the Hebrew patriarchs, and have
      illustrated or confirmed the Biblical narrative in many points.
      The ancestor of the Hebrew people, Abram, was, we are told, born
      at "Ur of the Chaldees." "Chaldees" is a mistranslation of the
      Hebrew _Kasdim_, Kasdim being the Old Testament name of the
      Babylonians, while the Chaldees were a tribe who lived on the
      shores of the Persian Gulf, and did not become a part of the
      Babylonian population till the time of Hezekiah. Ur was one of
      the oldest and most famous of the Babylonian cities. Its site is
      now called Mugheir, or Mugayyar, on the western bank of the
      Euphrates, in Southern Babylonia. About a century before the
      birth of Abram it was ruled by a powerful dynasty of kings.
      Their conquests extended to Elam on the one side, and to the
      Lebanon on the other. They were followed by a dynasty of princes
      whose capital was Babylon, and who seem to have been of South
      Arabian origin. The founder of the dynasty was Sumu-abi ("Shem
      is my father"). But soon afterwards Babylonia fell under Elamite
      dominion. The kings of Babylon were compelled to acknowledge the
      supremacy of Elam, and a rival kingdom to that of Babylon, and
      governed by Elamites, sprang up at Larsa, not far from Ur, but
      on the opposite bank of the river. In the time of Abram the king
      of Larsa was Eri-Aku, the son of an Elamite prince, and Eri-Aku,
      as has long been recognized, is the Biblical "Arioch king of
      Ellasar" (Gen. 14:1). The contemporaneous king of Babylon in the
      north, in the country termed Shinar in Scripture, was
      Khammu-rabi. (See {BABYLON}; {ABRAHAM}; {AMRAPHEL}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Child
      This word has considerable latitude of meaning in Scripture.
      Thus Joseph is called a child at the time when he was probably
      about sixteen years of age (Gen. 37:3); and Benjamin is so
      called when he was above thirty years (44:20). Solomon called
      himself a little child when he came to the kingdom (1 Kings
      3:7).
     
         The descendants of a man, however remote, are called his
      children; as, "the children of Edom," "the children of Moab,"
      "the children of Israel."
     
         In the earliest times mothers did not wean their children till
      they were from thirty months to three years old; and the day on
      which they were weaned was kept as a festival day (Gen. 21:8;
      Ex. 2:7, 9; 1 Sam. 1:22-24; Matt. 21:16). At the age of five,
      children began to learn the arts and duties of life under the
      care of their fathers (Deut. 6:20-25; 11:19).
     
         To have a numerous family was regarded as a mark of divine
      favour (Gen. 11:30; 30:1; 1 Sam. 2:5; 2 Sam. 6:23; Ps. 127:3;
      128:3).
     
         Figuratively the name is used for those who are ignorant or
      narrow-minded (Matt. 11:16; Luke 7:32; 1 Cor. 13:11). "When I
      was a child, I spake as a child." "Brethren, be not children in
      understanding" (1 Cor. 14:20). "That we henceforth be no more
      children, tossed to and fro" (Eph. 4:14).
     
         Children are also spoken of as representing simplicity and
      humility (Matt. 19:13-15; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17).
      Believers are "children of light" (Luke 16:8; 1 Thess. 5:5) and
      "children of obedience" (1 Pet. 1:14).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Clauda
      a small island off the southwest coast of Crete, passed by Paul
      on his voyage to Rome (Acts 27:16). It is about 7 miles long and
      3 broad. It is now called Gozzo (R.V., "Cauda").
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Claudia
      a female Christian mentioned in 2 Tim. 4:21. It is a conjecture
      having some probability that she was a British maiden, the
      daughter of king Cogidunus, who was an ally of Rome, and assumed
      the name of the emperor, his patron, Tiberius Claudius, and that
      she was the wife of Pudens.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cloud
      The Hebrew so rendered means "a covering," because clouds cover
      the sky. The word is used as a symbol of the Divine presence, as
      indicating the splendour of that glory which it conceals (Ex.
      16:10; 33:9; Num. 11:25; 12:5; Job 22:14; Ps. 18:11). A "cloud
      without rain" is a proverbial saying, denoting a man who does
      not keep his promise (Prov. 16:15; Isa. 18:4; 25:5; Jude 1:12).
      A cloud is the figure of that which is transitory (Job 30:15;
      Hos. 6:4). A bright cloud is the symbolical seat of the Divine
      presence (Ex.29:42, 43; 1 Kings 8:10; 2 Chr. 5:14; Ezek. 43:4),
      and was called the Shechinah (q.v.). Jehovah came down upon
      Sinai in a cloud (Ex. 19:9); and the cloud filled the court
      around the tabernacle in the wilderness so that Moses could not
      enter it (Ex. 40:34, 35). At the dedication of the temple also
      the cloud "filled the house of the Lord" (1 Kings 8:10). Thus in
      like manner when Christ comes the second time he is described as
      coming "in the clouds" (Matt. 17:5; 24:30; Acts 1:9, 11). False
      teachers are likened unto clouds carried about with a tempest (2
      Pet. 2:17). The infirmities of old age, which come one after
      another, are compared by Solomon to "clouds returning after the
      rain" (Eccl. 12:2). The blotting out of sins is like the sudden
      disappearance of threatening clouds from the sky (Isa. 44:22).
     
         Cloud, the pillar of, was the glory-cloud which indicated
      God's presence leading the ransomed people through the
      wilderness (Ex. 13:22; 33:9, 10). This pillar preceded the
      people as they marched, resting on the ark (Ex. 13:21; 40:36).
      By night it became a pillar of fire (Num. 9:17-23).
