It can imply a sense of radiance or brightness that comes from a joyful heart or spirit. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with expressions of joy, triumph, or celebration.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of joy and celebration were often communal and vibrant, involving singing, dancing, and other forms of outward expression. The concept of "gleaming" or "shining" as a metaphor for joy reflects the cultural importance of light and radiance as symbols of divine favor and blessing. The Hebrew people often celebrated their victories, religious festivals, and other significant events with exuberant joy, which is captured in the use of "tsahal."<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
