1.12 · Geographical Objects and Features · Regions Above the Earth

heavenly, in heaven, pertaining to heaven (derivative of οὐρανός[b] heaven, 1.11) related to or located in heaven The derivatives οὐράνιος and ἐπουράνιος[b] are essentially equivalent to semantic compounds in that they combine a semantic element of heaven as a celestial abode with another semantic element specifying location or relationship. Frequently such terms are translated as ‘in heaven’ or ‘from heaven’ or ‘belonging to heaven.’

Collocation: στρατιὰ οὐράνιος

throng of angels, ranks of angels (an idiom, literally: heavenly army) a large group or throng of angels There may be distinct objections to speaking of στρατιὰ οὐράνιος as being a ‘heavenly army,’ though undoubtedly in earlier times the thought of angels being God’s military force would have been quite appropriate. Therefore, in place of some expression which may refer to an army or military unit, it may be possible to translate στρατιὰ οὐράνιος as simply ‘many, many angels’ or ‘row after row of angels.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

οὐράνιος, “heavenly,” is seen in P Eud 24 (before B.c. 165) οὐράνια διδασκαλέα, and in P Thead 498 (a.p. 307-324?) ls γνῶσιν τῆς οὐρανίου αὐτοῦ πρ[ο]μηθείας [ἀ]φῖκται. In both these instances it is an adj. of two terminations as in Lk 2% στρατιᾶς οὐρανίου (but subst. οὐρανοῦ in B* D*), and Ac 2615 τῇ οὐρανίῳ ὀπτασίᾳ. The fem. in -α, as in class. Greek, is restored by the editor in PSI I. 863 (a.p. 367-375) ὁμολ[ογῶ ὀμνὺς τὴν θεί]αν Kal οὐρανίαν τύ]χην κτλ. The adj. is naturally common in the magic papyri, e.g. P Lond 467 (iv/a.p.) (=I. p. 70) πᾶς δαίμων οὐράνιος καὶ αἰθέριος Kal ἐπίγειος καὶ ὑπόγειος : οἴ, also the horoscope 76. 130" (i/ii A.D.) (=I. p. 133), where a master of astrology urges his pupil to be very exact in the application of the rules which the ancient Egyptians had discovered and handed down with such care—t]év Alyvπτίων οἱ τὸ παλαιὸν ἄ[νδρ]ες γενόμενοι [γ]νησίως τὰ περ[λ] τὰ οὐράνια φιλοπονήσαντες ἀπέλειπον τὴν περὶ αὐτῶν γνῶσιν, and the imprecation Wiinsch 4/ p. 177 (iii/A.D.) δρκίζω σε τὸν θεὸν τὸν τῶν οὐρανίων στερεωμάτων (cf. Gen 18) δεσπόζοντα ᾿Ιάω tBona.
