Strong's Lexicon zarach: To rise, shine, appear Original Word: זָרַח Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: zarach Pronunciation: zah-RAKH Phonetic Spelling: (zaw-rakh') Definition: to irradiate, to rise, to appear Meaning: To irradiate, to rise (as the sun), to appear Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G393 (ἀνατέλλω, anatellō): To rise, as the sun • G1816 (ἐπιφαίνω, epiphainō): To appear, to shine upon • G2014 (ἐπιφαίνω, epiphainō): To give light, to appear • G5316 (φαίνω, phainō): To shine, to appear These Greek terms reflect similar themes of rising, shining, and appearing, often used in the New Testament to describe the manifestation of Christ or the revelation of divine truth. Usage: The verb זָרַח is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of shining or rising, particularly in reference to the sun. It conveys the idea of light breaking forth or appearing, often symbolizing the onset of a new day or the manifestation of divine presence. Context: • The root זָרַח appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily associated with the rising of the sun or the shining of light. It is used both literally and metaphorically to describe the emergence of light or glory. • In Genesis 32:31, the term is used to describe the sun rising upon Jacob as he limps away after his encounter with God: "The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip." • In Exodus 22:3, the word is used in a legal context: "But if it happens after sunrise, there is guilt for his bloodshed." Here, זָרַח indicates the time of day, marking the transition from night to day. • The prophetic literature often employs זָרַח to symbolize hope, deliverance, or divine intervention. For instance, in Isaiah 60:1, the prophet declares, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you." • The Psalms also use this term to express the faithfulness and constancy of God's creation, as in Psalm 104:22: "The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens." • The concept of light and rising is deeply embedded in the Hebrew understanding of God's revelation and presence, making זָרַח a significant term in theological discussions about divine illumination and guidance.
