Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּהַר (bahar), which means "to shine" or "to be bright."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of "shining" or "brightness" in the Greek New Testament can be related to words such as φῶς (phōs, Strong's Greek 5457), meaning "light," and λαμπρός (lampros, Strong's Greek 2986), meaning "bright" or "radiant." These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of illumination and are used in contexts that highlight divine revelation and purity. Usage: This word is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is radiant or luminous, often in a metaphorical sense to convey purity, clarity, or divine presence. Context: • The Hebrew word בָּהִיר appears in contexts where brightness or radiance is emphasized. It is often used to describe the appearance of objects or entities that reflect light or possess an inherent glow. In the biblical narrative, such descriptions can be symbolic, representing purity, holiness, or the presence of God. The concept of light and brightness is a recurring theme in the Scriptures, often associated with divine revelation and truth.
