Strong's Lexicon qaran: To shine, to emit rays, to be radiant Original Word: קָרַן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qaran," the concept of radiance or shining is captured in the New Testament with words like "φωτίζω" (phōtizō - to give light, to illuminate) and "λαμπρός" (lampros - bright, shining). Usage: The Hebrew verb "qaran" primarily means to shine or emit rays, often used to describe a radiant or glowing appearance. In the context of the Bible, it is most famously used to describe the appearance of Moses' face after he descended from Mount Sinai, having been in the presence of God. This radiance was so intense that Moses had to cover his face with a veil when speaking to the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, radiance or shining was often associated with divine presence or favor. The concept of a shining face was symbolic of glory, authority, and divine encounter. In the biblical narrative, Moses' radiant face served as a visible sign of his unique relationship with God and the authority of the commandments he received.
