         DefinitionShort: shining, either in the sense of radiance from a source or the reflection of a source of light

         Glosses: ['radiance', 'reflection']

         Comments: It is impossible to determine whether ἀπαύγασμα should be interpreted in an active sense and therefore ‘radiance,’ or in a passive sence and therefore as ‘reflection.’ If the meaning is ‘radiance,’ then one may translate this phrase in {S:05800100300006} as ‘he shines with God’s glory’ or even ‘God’s glory shines through him.’ If one understands the meaning of ἀπαύγασμα as being ‘reflection,’ then one may often say ‘God’s glory shines back from him.’
