In the context of the Bible, it is most famously used to describe the appearance of Moses' face after he descended from Mount Sinai, having been in the presence of God. This radiance was so intense that Moses had to cover his face with a veil when speaking to the Israelites.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, radiance or shining was often associated with divine presence or favor. The concept of a shining face was symbolic of glory, authority, and divine encounter. In the biblical narrative, Moses' radiant face served as a visible sign of his unique relationship with God and the authority of the commandments he received.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/7161.htm">qeren</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to send out rays<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shone (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קָרַן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Qal denominative</b></font> of <font class="hebrew2">קֶרֶן</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>5</b></font>, <font size="+1"><b>send out rays</b></font>;
