Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָפָה (yāphâ), which means "to be beautiful" or "to be fair."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1391 • δόξα (doxa): While primarily translated as "glory," this Greek term can also encompass notions of beauty and splendor, particularly in the context of divine or heavenly radiance. It is used in the New Testament to describe the glory of God, the beauty of Christ, and the honor bestowed upon believers. The connection between יֱפִי (yĕphiy) and δόξα (doxa) underscores the biblical theme that true beauty is ultimately found in the divine and is a reflection of God's glory.

Usage: The term יֱפִי (yĕphiy) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical beauty or aesthetic appeal. It often describes the beauty of people, places, or objects, emphasizing their pleasing appearance or form.

Context: • יֱפִי (yĕphiy) is a noun that appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the aesthetic qualities of individuals or objects. It is used to describe the physical attractiveness of people, such as in Ezekiel 28:17, where it refers to the beauty of the king of Tyre: "Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor."
• The term also appears in contexts that emphasize the beauty of the land or cities, as seen in Lamentations 2:15, where Jerusalem is described: "Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?"
• יֱפִי (yĕphiy) is often associated with divine creation, reflecting the inherent beauty and order established by God. It serves as a reminder of the aesthetic dimension of God's creation, which is meant to inspire awe and reverence.
• The concept of beauty in the Hebrew Bible is not merely superficial but often carries moral and spiritual connotations, suggesting that true beauty is aligned with righteousness and divine favor.
