ceyer

סער

Ostensibly meaning “whirlwind”, 'ceyer' (pronounced 'sayer') is often found in narratives where a character either comes to earth from the sky, or is lifted up into the sky.

It seems more appropriate to call the 'ceyer' a “tractor beam” of some kind.

This is most clearly demonstrated in the story of Elijah who is lifted up into the sky.

(OST)2_kings2:1 - and it came to pass when was about to take up Yahweh - Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven that went Elijah and with Elisha from Gilgal (LIT)2_kings2:1 - are ascended Ihoh the Elijah tractor beam The Legendary Ones travel Elijah Elisha what Gilgal

(OST)2_kings2:11 - And it came to pass they as continued on went on and talked that suddenly [appeared] a chariot of fire and with horses of fire and separated between the two of them and went up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven (LIT)2_kings2:11 - are they/them travelers travel speak surely chariot fire horse fire separate sons second ascended Elijah tractor beam The Legendary Ones

The story of Elijah being taken away fits with the etymology of the word as well, it is built on the root cey meaning “journey”.

The 'ceyer' is often associated with the roeh.

There are zero instances of 'ceyer' referring to a naturally occurring weather formation such as a tornado or hurricane. There is no evidence to support the typical translation of “whirlwhind”, which gives the illusion of such a natural weather phenomena.
