Strong's Lexicon shaphrur or shaphrir: Splendor, brightness, beauty Original Word: שַׁפְרוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁפַר (shaphar), which means "to be fair" or "to be beautiful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of beauty and splendor can be related to Greek words such as δόξα (doxa), meaning "glory," which is often used in the New Testament to describe the majesty and honor of God. Usage: The term "shaphrur" or "shaphrir" is used to denote a sense of splendor or brightness, often in a figurative sense to describe something that is beautiful or glorious. It conveys the idea of something that is visually striking or impressive. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty and splendor were often associated with divine presence and favor. The concept of beauty was not merely aesthetic but also carried connotations of moral and spiritual excellence. The use of "shaphrur" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this broader understanding of beauty as an attribute of God's creation and His divine nature.
