Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of divine manifestation in the Hebrew Bible is often captured by words like "כָּבוֹד" (kabod, Strong's H3519), meaning "glory," or "נִרְאָה" (nir'ah, Strong's H7200), meaning "to appear." Usage: The Greek adjective "epiphanés" is used to describe something that is manifest or clearly visible. It often conveys the idea of something being illustrious or notable, highlighting its prominence or significance. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the manifestation of divine glory or the notable appearance of God's intervention in human affairs. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the term "epiphanés" was often used to describe the appearance of gods or divine beings. It was associated with the idea of a deity making themselves known to humans, often in a dramatic or significant way. This concept was familiar in the Hellenistic culture, where rulers and emperors were sometimes referred to as "epiphanes" to emphasize their supposed divine status or favor.
