Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G4744 (στολίζω, stolizō): While not a direct translation, this Greek term relates to adorning or decorating, often with a sense of enhancing beauty or splendor, which can be conceptually linked to the idea of glittering or being golden. The Greek term captures the essence of embellishment and the enhancement of appearance, akin to the Hebrew concept of צָהַב, which emphasizes the brilliance and attractiveness of gold.

Usage: The verb צָהַב (tsahab) is used in the context of describing something that glitters or has a golden hue. It is a term that conveys the brilliance and luster associated with gold.

Context: The Hebrew verb צָהַב (tsahab) is a primitive root that primarily denotes the action of glittering or shining with a golden color. This term is used to describe the radiant and lustrous appearance of objects, often in a metaphorical sense to convey beauty, splendor, or value. The concept of glittering or being golden is frequently associated with wealth, divinity, and purity in biblical literature. The use of צָהַב in the Hebrew Bible is limited, but its implications are significant, often pointing to the divine or the majestic. The imagery of gold and its glittering quality is a powerful symbol in the biblical narrative, representing not only material wealth but also spiritual richness and divine glory.
