Usage: The verb יָפַע (yāpha‘) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of shining or emitting light. It conveys the idea of radiance or brightness, often in a metaphorical sense, such as the shining of God's presence or glory. Context: יָפַע (yāpha‘) is a Hebrew verb that appears in the Old Testament to describe the act of shining or emitting light. This term is often used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey the brilliance and majesty of divine presence. For instance, in Job 3:4, the word is used to describe the absence of light, "May that day be darkness; may God above not care for it; may no light shine upon it." Here, the absence of יָפַע (yāpha‘) signifies a lack of divine favor or presence. The concept of shining is frequently associated with God's glory and the manifestation of His presence. In Habakkuk 3:4, the prophet describes a theophany, "His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden." The imagery of light and shining underscores the power and holiness of God, emphasizing His transcendence and immanence. יָפַע (yāpha‘) is also used metaphorically to describe the shining of wisdom or understanding, as light is often a symbol of knowledge and revelation in biblical literature. The use of this verb highlights the transformative and revealing nature of divine interaction with the world.
