It conveys the idea of illumination, both physical and spiritual, and is associated with divine revelation and guidance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, light was a powerful symbol of life, purity, and divine presence. The concept of light is deeply embedded in the Hebrew Scriptures, representing God's holiness, truth, and the dispelling of darkness. Light was essential for daily life, guiding people through the darkness and symbolizing hope and salvation. In the context of the Bible, light often signifies God's intervention and the revelation of His will to His people.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נְהִיר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">נְהוֺר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>light</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">נְהוֺרָא</font>, Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb110205.gif">;
