Strong's Lexicon nogah: Brightness, radiance, light, splendor Original Word: נֹגַהּ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָגַהּ (nagah), meaning "to shine" or "to give light." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5457 (phōs): Light, often used in the New Testament to describe the light of Christ or the illumination of the Gospel. - G1391 (doxa): Glory, which can also imply brightness or splendor, particularly in reference to divine glory. Usage: The Hebrew word "nogah" primarily denotes brightness or radiance, often used to describe the shining light or splendor associated with divine or celestial phenomena. It conveys a sense of brilliance and is frequently used in poetic and prophetic literature to depict the glory and majesty of God or His creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light was a powerful symbol of life, purity, and divine presence. The concept of light as a manifestation of God's glory is prevalent throughout the Old Testament. "Nogah" captures this imagery, often used in contexts where God's presence or the divine order is being highlighted. In a world without artificial lighting, the natural brilliance of the sun, stars, and other celestial bodies held significant spiritual and practical importance.
