Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5457 (φῶς, phos) – Light - G3088 (λυχνία, lychnia) – Lampstand Usage: The Hebrew word "maor" refers to a source of light or a luminary. It is used in the context of both natural and artificial sources of light, such as the sun, moon, and lamps. In the biblical narrative, "maor" often signifies the physical light that governs the day and night, as well as the divine light that symbolizes God's presence and guidance.
