H and others) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָכַךְ (zakak), meaning "to be pure" or "to be clear."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G5194 (ὕαλος, hyalos), which also means "glass." This Greek term is used in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Revelation, to describe the sea of glass before the throne of God, emphasizing the purity and clarity of the divine presence. Usage: The word זְכוּכִית is used in the context of describing materials that are clear or transparent, often in a metaphorical sense to convey purity or clarity. Context: The Hebrew term זְכוּכִית appears in the context of ancient descriptions of materials that exhibit clarity and transparency. In the ancient Near East, glass was a rare and valuable material, often associated with purity and refinement. The use of זְכוּכִית in biblical texts may not always refer to glass as we understand it today but rather to any substance that shares the characteristic of being clear or transparent. This term is used metaphorically in biblical literature to convey ideas of purity, clarity, and divine perfection. The Berean Standard Bible does not contain a direct reference to this term, but its conceptual use can be seen in descriptions of divine visions or heavenly objects that are described as clear or pure.
