Context: The Hebrew word בָּזָק (bāzaq) appears in the Old Testament to describe a vivid and instantaneous flash of lightning. This imagery is often employed to convey the suddenness and power of divine intervention or judgment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, lightning was frequently associated with the presence and power of God, serving as a metaphor for His might and the immediacy of His actions.
