Strong's Lexicon Tseltsach: Brightness, Splendor Original Word: צֶלְצַח Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to gleam or to shine. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of brightness or splendor is δόξα (doxa), which is Strong's Greek 1391. This term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the glory of God. Usage: The term "Tseltsach" is used to convey the idea of brightness or splendor, often in a metaphorical sense. It can describe the radiance or glory associated with divine presence or the shining of a person's countenance. The word captures the essence of something that is visually striking and awe-inspiring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light and brightness were often associated with the divine. The concept of light symbolized purity, truth, and the presence of God. The use of "Tseltsach" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural understanding, where brightness is not just a physical attribute but also a spiritual metaphor for God's glory and favor.
