na.har describes becoming radiant, most clearly in the address of Isaiah 60:5.

The attested use presents radiance most clearly in Isaiah 60:5, where the feminine singular form occurs in an address whose APB rendering says, “you will see and be radiant.” Psalm 34:6 has a plural form, but the translation does not isolate its contribution within the verse.

Senses in use

  1. Becoming radiant · dominant

    In Isaiah 60:5, the Qal sequential perfect feminine singular form occurs in the address to “you”; the APB renders the clause, “Then you will see and be radiant.” In Psalm 34:6, the Qal perfect plural form is present, though the APB instead presents the verse as “This poor man cried,” so the term's specific contribution is not isolated there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes “be radiant” in Isaiah 60:5. In Psalm 34:6 it does not provide a clearly corresponding English expression.
