- δοξάζω doxázō · G1392 · to praise, to glorify, praise
- Greek δοξάζω (doxázō, G1392) serves as the LXX translation equivalent for Hebrew קָרַן (qâran, H7160) specifically in its 'shine' sense (Exodus 34:29-35, Moses' face shining with divine glory), capturing the glorification/radiance semantic overlap, though δοξάζω's broader 'glorify/honor' range extends beyond קָרַן's core 'have horns/shine' meanings.
