It is used metaphorically to describe the emergence of light or the dawn of a new day, symbolizing hope, renewal, and divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the rising of the sun was a powerful symbol of God's faithfulness and the renewal of His mercies each day. The dawn was seen as a time of new beginnings and divine favor. The imagery of light overcoming darkness is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, representing God's presence, guidance, and salvation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2224.htm">zarach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a dawning, shining<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rising (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
