It is often used to describe the divine light of Christ and the illumination of truth and righteousness. Usage: The word אוֹרָה (oráh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the concept of light, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is associated with illumination, clarity, and the positive aspects of life, such as prosperity and growth. Context: The Hebrew term אוֹרָה (oráh) is a noun that encapsulates the idea of light and its beneficial qualities. In the biblical context, light is often symbolic of divine presence, guidance, and truth. The use of אוֹרָה (oráh) in Scripture underscores the importance of light as a source of life and prosperity. For instance, in the poetic and wisdom literature of the Old Testament, light is frequently contrasted with darkness, representing knowledge over ignorance, and righteousness over wickedness. The metaphorical use of light to signify prosperity is evident in passages where the flourishing of individuals or nations is described in terms of illumination and growth, akin to the thriving of a plant under the sun's rays.
