H166 ʼâhal

אָהַל

aw-hal'

to shine

Looking for Greek G166 aiṓnios? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H166. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

ʼâhal appears once in Scripture, in Job 25:5. In the Doxa app, open that verse, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
