Shine
Shine [1]
shı̄n : The Hebrew words 'āhal , 'ōr , hālal , zāhar , zāraḥ , yāpha‛ , nāghāh , ‛āshath and ḳāran are all translated "shine." All indicate either the direct or indirect diffusion of beams of light. In a direct and literal sense the word "shine" is used of the heavenly bodies, or of candles, and fire ( Job 18:5; Job 25:5 the King James Version; Job 29:3; Job 31:26; 2 Kings 3:22 ). In a figurative sense it is used of reflected light or brightness, in any sense ( Exodus 34:29 f, 35; Isaiah 60:1; Ezekiel 43:2; Daniel 12:3 ). God as the sun of righteousness is thus depicted in Psalm 50:2 . The New Testament words astráptō , augázō , lámpō and phaı́nō are translated "shine." Thus literally it is said of the lightning that it shines ( Matthew 24:27 the King James Version; Luke 17:24 ); the word is tropically applied to the life of faith or to men prominent in the kingdom of God ( Matthew 5:16; John 5:35; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Philippians 2:15; 2 Peter 1:19 ); to the glory of God ( Luke 2:9 ); to angelic appearances ( Luke 24:4; Acts 12:7 ), or to Christ as He appeared to John on Patmos ( Revelation 1:16 ).
