Strong's Lexicon télaugós: Shining, radiant, bright Original Word: τηλαυγός Word Origin: From the Greek words τῆλε (tēle, meaning "far off") and αὐγός (augos, meaning "brightness" or "light"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "télaugós," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like אוֹר (or, Strong's H216), meaning "light," which is used to describe divine revelation and guidance. Usage: The term "télaugós" is used to describe something that is shining or radiant, often in a metaphorical sense to convey clarity, purity, or divine illumination. It suggests a brightness that is visible from a distance, emphasizing the far-reaching impact of the light. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, light was often associated with knowledge, truth, and the divine. The concept of light as a metaphor for understanding and revelation is prevalent in both Greek philosophy and Jewish thought. In the New Testament, light frequently symbolizes the presence and truth of God, contrasting with darkness, which represents ignorance or evil.
