It can refer to physical dimness, such as the fading of eyesight, or metaphorical dimness, such as the obscuring of understanding or perception.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, light and darkness were often used symbolically to represent knowledge and ignorance, good and evil, or divine presence and absence. The concept of dimming or darkening would have resonated with the Israelites, who lived in a world where natural light was crucial for daily life and spiritual symbolism. The dimming of light could signify a loss of divine favor or understanding, a theme prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to darken, dim<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dark the has become (1), match (2).<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> II.
