Strong's Lexicon manor: Light, Luminary Original Word: מָנוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּר (nur), meaning "to shine" or "to give light." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of light is φῶς (phos), Strong's Greek #5457, which appears in passages such as John 8:12, where Jesus declares, "I am the light of the world." Usage: The term "manor" in Hebrew is used to denote a source of light or a luminary. It is often associated with the concept of illumination, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to natural sources of light, such as the sun or stars, as well as artificial sources, like lamps or torches. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, light was a powerful symbol of God's presence, guidance, and revelation. The use of light in religious rituals, such as the lighting of the menorah in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, underscored its spiritual significance. Light was also a practical necessity in daily life, providing safety and the ability to perform tasks after sunset.
