Strong's Lexicon tsachar: To be bright, to glisten Original Word: צַחַר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tsachar Pronunciation: tsaw-khar' Phonetic Spelling: (tsakh'-ar) Definition: sheen, whiteness Meaning: The term צַחַר (tsachar) primarily denotes "sheen" or "whiteness," often used to describe a bright or shining appearance. Word Origin: Derived from the root צָחַר (tsachar), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of brightness or whiteness. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for צַחַר (tsachar) in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts of brightness and whiteness can be found in Greek terms such as λευκός (leukos, Strong's Greek 3022), meaning "white" or "bright," and φῶς (phos, Strong's Greek 5457), meaning "light." These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of brightness and purity, often used in the New Testament to describe divine or heavenly attributes. Usage: The word צַחַר (tsachar) is used in the context of describing a bright or shining quality, particularly in relation to physical appearance or natural phenomena. Context: • The Hebrew word צַחַר (tsachar) appears in the context of describing a bright or shining quality. It is often associated with the idea of purity and brilliance, akin to the sheen of a polished surface or the whiteness of a bright light. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is used to convey the concept of a radiant or luminous appearance, emphasizing the visual impact of brightness. • The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, which suggests its specific application to contexts where the emphasis is on the visual and aesthetic qualities of brightness and whiteness. This can be seen in descriptions of natural phenomena or objects that possess a strikingly bright or pure appearance. • The root צָחַר (tsachar) is not directly attested in the Hebrew Bible, but its derivatives and related terms are used to convey similar meanings of brightness and purity. This reflects a broader semantic field in Hebrew where light and whiteness are often symbolic of purity, holiness, and divine presence.
