Berean Strong's Lexicon ner: Lamp, light Original Word: נֵר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: ner Pronunciation: nair Phonetic Spelling: (neer) Definition: Lamp, light Meaning: a lamp, light Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3088 (λύχνος, lychnos): Refers to a lamp or light, used in the New Testament to symbolize spiritual illumination and guidance. Usage: The Hebrew word "נֵר" (ner) primarily refers to a lamp or light. It is used in the context of providing illumination, both physically and metaphorically. In the Old Testament, "ner" often symbolizes guidance, wisdom, and the presence of God. It is associated with the light that dispels darkness, representing truth and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, lamps were essential for daily life, especially after sunset. They were typically small clay vessels filled with olive oil, with a wick to produce light. The lamp's light was crucial for activities in the home and for religious rituals. In the tabernacle and later the temple, the menorah, a seven-branched lampstand, held significant religious symbolism, representing God's eternal presence and the light of His truth.
