It conveys the idea of something that shines forth or emanates light, capturing the essence of glory and splendor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, light was often associated with knowledge, truth, and divinity. The concept of radiance was used to describe the divine presence and the manifestation of divine attributes. In Jewish thought, light was a symbol of God's presence and glory, as seen in the Shekinah glory that filled the temple. The use of "apaugasma" in the New Testament reflects these cultural and theological understandings, emphasizing the divine nature and glory of Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>541</b> <i>apaúgasma</i> (from <a href="/greek/575.htm">575</a> <i>/apó</i>, "from" which intensifies <a href="/greek/826.htm">826</a> <i>/augázō</i>, "shine," derived from <i>augē/</i>"dawn") – properly, someone who literally "<i>shines</i>," (is <i>radiant</i>). <a href="/greek/541.htm">541</a> (<i>apaúgasma</i>) is only used in Heb 1:3 where it refers to Christ's <i>eternal radiance</i> – <i>supremely reflecting the effulgent glory of the Godhead</i>.
