Strong's Lexicon epiphauskó: To dawn, to shine upon Original Word: ἐπιφαύσκω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: epiphauskó Pronunciation: eh-pee-FOW-skoh Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-fow'-o) Definition: To dawn, to shine upon Meaning: I shine upon, give light to. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐπί" (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb "φαύσκω" (phauskó, meaning "to shine" or "to give light"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of light and dawn in Hebrew is often represented by words like "אוֹר" (or, Strong's H216) meaning "light," and "שַׁחַר" (shachar, Strong's H7837) meaning "dawn" or "morning." Usage: The verb "epiphauskó" is used to describe the act of light shining or dawning upon something. It conveys the idea of illumination or the beginning of a new day. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the coming of spiritual enlightenment or the revelation of divine truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the concept of light was often associated with knowledge, truth, and divine presence. The dawning of a new day symbolized hope, renewal, and the dispelling of darkness. In the Greco-Roman context, light was also linked to the divine, with many deities associated with the sun and illumination. In Jewish thought, light was a powerful symbol of God's presence and guidance, as seen in the imagery of the menorah and the Shekinah glory.
