Strong's Lexicon zarach: To rise, shine, appear Original Word: זָרַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G393: anatello (to rise, as the sun) - G2014: epiphaino (to shine upon, become visible) Usage: The Hebrew verb "zarach" primarily means "to rise" or "to shine," often used in the context of the sun rising or light appearing. It conveys the idea of something coming forth with brightness and clarity, symbolizing new beginnings, hope, and divine intervention. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the rising of the sun was a powerful symbol of God's faithfulness and the renewal of life. The daily cycle of the sun rising and setting was a reminder of God's order and sovereignty over creation. Light, in general, was associated with God's presence, truth, and guidance, contrasting with darkness, which symbolized chaos and evil.
