However, the concept of clarity and purity can be related to words like "זָכוּ" (zakku) meaning "pure" or "clear."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek word "hualos" refers to glass, particularly in the context of something that is clear, transparent, or shining. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the appearance of certain heavenly visions, emphasizing purity, clarity, and brilliance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, glass was a valuable and somewhat rare material, often associated with luxury and beauty. The process of glassmaking was known in the Roman Empire, but glass was not as common or as clear as it is today. The use of "hualos" in the biblical text would evoke images of something precious and pure, reflecting the divine nature of the visions described.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5194</b> <i>hýalos</i> – <i>glass</i>. <a href="/greek/5194.htm">5194</a> (<i>hýalos</i>) refers to any <i>transparent</i> substance (like crystal), i.e. "see-through stones."
