And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.

God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

At daybreak, the men were sent on their way with their donkeys.

And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide their way by day, and in a pillar of fire to give them light by night, so that they could travel by day or night.

…so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other.

Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it.

…may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;

“Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’”

“My father has brought trouble to the land,” Jonathan replied. “Just look at how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”

And they took Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men marched all night and reached Hebron at daybreak.

But now, for a brief moment, grace has come from the LORD our God to preserve for us a remnant and to give us a stake in His holy place. Even in our bondage, our God has given us new life and light to our eyes.

You led them with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they should travel.

You in Your great compassion did not forsake them in the wilderness. By day the pillar of cloud never turned away from guiding them on their path; and by the night the pillar of fire illuminated the way they should go.

…to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.

The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song. May God be gracious to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, Selah

You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

Your thunder resounded in the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked.

Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.

He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.

The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.

Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

…even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

Who is like the wise man? Who knows the interpretation of a matter? A man’s wisdom brightens his face, and the sternness of his face is changed.

When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.

When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

…and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.

So now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine upon Your desolate sanctuary.

“Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would no longer kindle useless fires on My altar! I take no pleasure in you,” says the LORD of Hosts, “and I will accept no offering from your hands.
