Usage: The Hebrew word "nogah" primarily denotes brightness or radiance, often used to describe the shining light or splendor associated with divine or celestial phenomena. It conveys a sense of brilliance and is frequently used in poetic and prophetic literature to depict the glory and majesty of God or His creation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light was a powerful symbol of life, purity, and divine presence. The concept of light as a manifestation of God's glory is prevalent throughout the Old Testament. "Nogah" captures this imagery, often used in contexts where God's presence or the divine order is being highlighted. In a world without artificial lighting, the natural brilliance of the sun, stars, and other celestial bodies held significant spiritual and practical importance.
