Strong's Lexicon Tsochar: Brightness, Shining Original Word: צֹחַר Word Origin: Derived from the root צָחַר (tsachar), which means to be dazzling or bright. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of brightness or light is φῶς (phōs), Strong's Greek #5457, which is used in the New Testament to describe both physical and spiritual light. Usage: The term "Tsochar" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote brightness or shining, often in a metaphorical sense to describe clarity, purity, or the brilliance of light. It is not a commonly used word and appears in specific contexts where the emphasis is on the quality of light or radiance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light and brightness were often associated with divine presence, purity, and truth. The concept of light as a symbol of God's guidance and revelation is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. The use of "Tsochar" would evoke imagery of divine illumination and the clarity that comes from God's truth.
