However, the concept of divine radiance and glory can be related to Greek terms like δόξα (doxa, Strong's G1391), meaning "glory."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chashmal" is used in the context of Ezekiel's visions to describe a radiant, glowing substance or appearance. It is often translated as "amber" or "electrum," a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, known for its bright, shining quality. The word conveys a sense of brilliance and divine glory.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, precious metals and stones were often associated with divine presence and majesty. The use of "chashmal" in Ezekiel's vision reflects this cultural understanding, as it describes the appearance of God's glory. The term's exact meaning has been debated, but its association with light and brilliance is clear, fitting the context of a theophany—a visible manifestation of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps amber<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>glowing metal (3).<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> <font class="hebrew2">חַשְׁמַל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> etymology and exact meaning dubious;
