It conveys the idea of a brilliant, encompassing light, often associated with divine or supernatural occurrences.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, light was often associated with divine presence and revelation. The imagery of light surrounding an individual or object would have been understood as a sign of divine favor or intervention. In the context of the New Testament, such occurrences are often linked to the presence of God or angelic beings, emphasizing the holiness and majesty of the divine.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4015: περιαστράπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιαστράπτω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">περιηστραψα</span> (<span class="manuref">R<span class="lexsuper">elz</span></span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="greek2">περιεστραψα</span> (see <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 34f (30) and <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>s note)), <span class="accented">to flash around, shine about,</span> (<span class="greek2">περί</span>, III. 1): <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-3.htm">Acts 9:3</a>; <span class="greek2">περί</span> <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-6.htm">Acts 22:6</a>.
