It also carries metaphorical meanings, representing life, prosperity, guidance, and divine presence. In the biblical context, light often symbolizes purity, truth, and the presence of God, contrasting with darkness, which represents evil, ignorance, and chaos.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, light was a powerful symbol of life and order. The creation narrative in Genesis begins with God commanding, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3, BSB), establishing light as the first act of divine order over chaos. Light was essential for daily life, agriculture, and navigation, making it a fitting metaphor for divine guidance and blessing. In Israelite worship, light was also significant, as seen in the menorah, a seven-branched lampstand in the Tabernacle and later the Temple, symbolizing God's eternal presence.<div
