It often conveys a sense of radiance or brilliance, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical brightness and the splendor of character or appearance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, brightness and radiance were often associated with divinity, purity, and glory. The concept of light was frequently used in philosophical and religious contexts to symbolize truth, knowledge, and divine presence. In the Greco-Roman world, splendid clothing or appearance was also a sign of wealth, status, and honor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2989.htm">lampó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bright<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bright (3), clear (1), fine (2), gorgeous (1), shining (1), splendid (1).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2986: λαμπρός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λαμπρός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λαμπρά</span>, <span class="greek2">λαμπρόν</span> (<span class="greek2">λάμπω</span>); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">shining; brilliant</span>: <span class="greek2">ἀστήρ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/22-16.htm">Revelation 22:16</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Iliad 4, 77, etc.); <span class="accented">clear, transparent,</span> <a href="/interlinear/revelation/22-1.htm">Revelation 22:1</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">splendid, magnificent</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
