It can also metaphorically describe a lack of understanding or diminished vitality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical sight was often used as a metaphor for understanding and spiritual insight. The dimming of sight, whether literal or metaphorical, could signify a decline in physical health or spiritual awareness. The concept of light and darkness is prevalent throughout the Bible, symbolizing knowledge, purity, and divine presence versus ignorance, sin, and separation from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS
