Strong's Lexicon eklampó: To shine forth, to radiate, to emit light Original Word: ἐκλάμπω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and "λάμπω" (lampó, meaning "to shine" or "to give light"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of shining or radiating light in the Hebrew Bible is often associated with the Hebrew word "אוֹר" (or, Strong's Hebrew 216), which means "light." Usage: The verb "eklampó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shining forth or emitting light. It conveys the idea of a radiant or brilliant light that emanates from a source, often used metaphorically to describe the manifestation of divine glory or truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, light was a powerful symbol of knowledge, purity, and divine presence. The concept of light shining forth was often associated with the revelation of truth and the presence of God. In the Greco-Roman context, light was also seen as a symbol of life and guidance, contrasting with darkness, which represented ignorance and evil.
