Notes: In a number of languages a clear distinction is made between some object which is bright in and of itself (that is to say, the source of brightness or radiance) and objects which are bright because they reflect light from some source. In the case of RV MAT 17:5 · LV MAT 17:5 · Read together MAT 17:5 (which is generally regarded as a reference to the Shekinah presence of God), the cloud would not be merely reflecting light but would be a source of light (see 14.50: λαμπρός / 14.50: λευκός / 14.50: φωτεινός).|In RV REV 15:8 · LV REV 15:8 · Read together REV 15:8 (καὶ ἐγεμίσθη ὁ ναὸς καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης τοῦ θεοῦ ‘and the temple was filled with smoke from the brightness of God’) the reference is evidently to the Shekinah. The Shekinah, which filled the Temple when it was first constructed (RV KI1 8:11 · LV KI1 8:11 · Read together KI1 8:11), was regarded as a bright, cloud-like object which represented the personal presence of God.
