Strong's Lexicon diaugazo: To shine through, to dawn Original Word: διαυγάζω Part of Speech: Adjective; Verb Transliteration: diaugazo Pronunciation: dee-ow-GAH-zo Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ow-gad'-zo) Definition: To shine through, to dawn Meaning: I shine through, dawn (of the light coming through the shadows). Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through") and the verb "αὐγάζω" (augazo, meaning "to shine" or "to dawn"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diaugazo," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like "אוֹר" (or, Strong's H216), meaning "light," which is used in contexts of divine revelation and guidance. Usage: The verb "diaugazo" conveys the idea of light breaking through darkness, akin to the dawning of a new day. It is used metaphorically to describe the emergence of understanding or revelation, as well as the literal breaking of dawn. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the concept of light was often associated with knowledge, purity, and divine presence. The breaking of dawn symbolized new beginnings and hope. In the Greco-Roman context, light was also a common metaphor for truth and enlightenment, which aligns with the biblical usage of "diaugazo" to signify spiritual awakening or revelation.
