Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word "λαμπρός" (lampros), meaning bright or shining, can be seen as a conceptual parallel in the New Testament.

Usage: The Hebrew word "tsach" is used to describe something that is bright, clear, or pure. It often conveys a sense of radiance or clarity, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to the brightness of physical objects, such as the sun or light, as well as the purity or clarity of moral or spiritual qualities.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light and brightness were often associated with purity, truth, and the divine presence. The concept of brightness was not only a physical description but also carried significant symbolic meaning. Light was seen as a representation of God's holiness and truth, contrasting with darkness, which symbolized evil and ignorance. The use of "tsach" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the importance of purity and clarity in one's relationship with God.
