DefinitionShort: any light-producing object in the sky, such as the sun, moon, and other planets and stars
Glosses: ['light', 'luminary', 'star']
Comments: Though φωστήρ[a] may refer to any light-producing object, it is used especially of the heavenly bodies and more specifically of stars, as in {S:05000201500036}, the one NT context in which φωστήρ[a] occurs. A focal component of this meaning is the light-giving characteristic.

DefinitionShort: the state of brightness or shining
Glosses: ['brightness', 'shining', 'radiance']
Comments: 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 {S:04001700500010} (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 {D:14.50}).
