In the other Testament 2 words
- δοξάζω doxázō · G1392 · to praise, to glorify, praise
- Greek δοξάζω (doxázō, G1392) renders the glorification/boasting sense of Hebrew פָּאַר (pâʼar, H6286), focusing on the glory/honor aspect of the semantic range rather than the beautification or agricultural ('go over the boughs') senses.
- δόξα dóxa · G1391 · glory, splendor, brightness
- Greek δόξα (dóxa, G1391) renders the 'glory' sense of Hebrew פָּאַר (pâʼar, H6286), capturing the visual splendor/magnificence aspect of the root's semantic range, though it does not map to the root's reflexive 'boast self' or agricultural 'go over the boughs' senses.
