Strong's Lexicon nogah: Brightness, radiance, light Original Word: נֹגַהּ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָגַהּ (nagah), meaning "to shine" or "to give light." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5457 (phōs): Light, often used in the New Testament to describe the light of Christ or the illumination of the Gospel. - G2985 (lampros): Bright, shining, used to describe the radiant appearance of heavenly beings or the glory of God. Usage: The Hebrew word "nogah" primarily denotes brightness or radiance, often associated with the splendor or brilliance of light. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the shining or glowing quality of light, whether literal or metaphorical. This term can refer to the physical brightness of celestial bodies or the metaphorical radiance of divine presence and glory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, light was often associated with divine presence, purity, and truth. The concept of light as a symbol of God's glory and guidance is prevalent throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. The Israelites, living in a world where darkness was a significant part of daily life, would have understood "nogah" as a powerful representation of God's illuminating presence and the hope it brings.
