Strong's Lexicon tsachar: To be bright, to glisten Original Word: צָחַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of brightness or shining is "φωτίζω" (phōtizō - Strong's Greek 5461), which means to give light or to illuminate. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsachar" primarily conveys the idea of brightness or shining. It is used to describe something that glistens or emits light, often in a metaphorical sense to denote clarity, purity, or the presence of divine favor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, light and brightness were often associated with divine presence, purity, and truth. The concept of light was integral to the Hebrew understanding of God's nature, as seen in the creation narrative where God declares light to be good. The use of "tsachar" would evoke imagery of the sun's brightness or the clarity of a clear day, symbolizing God's guidance and blessing.
