It is used to describe the gleaming or radiant quality of an object, often in a metaphorical sense to convey purity, brilliance, or divine presence. The term can be applied to physical objects that reflect light or to abstract concepts that convey a sense of glory or splendor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, light and brightness were often associated with divine presence and favor. The concept of shining or sparkling was not only a physical description but also carried spiritual connotations. Light was seen as a symbol of God's purity, truth, and guidance. The use of "natsats" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural understanding, where the brilliance of an object or person often signifies divine approval or presence.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
