<p> '''''brı̄t´nes''''' : Used by the King James Version in Hebrews 1:3 for "effulgence of his glory," as in the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version. The Greek <i> '''''apaúgasma''''' </i> may mean either "reflection" or "radiation." Patristic usage favors the latter; compare The Wisdom of [[Solomon]] 7:26; also the Nicene Creed: "Light of Light," i.e. the Son not only manifests the Father, but is of the same substance. "What emanates from light, must have the nature of light" (Delitzsch). </p> | <p> ''''' brı̄t´nes ''''' : Used by the King James Version in Hebrews 1:3 for "effulgence of his glory," as in the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version.
