en -lı̄t ´'n : (1) אור , 'ōr , "illumination" in every sense, used in the ordinary sense of giving natural light (Psalm 97:4 the King James Version; see also Ezra 9:8 ) or as a sign of health and vigor (1 Samuel 14:27 , 1 Samuel 14:29 ). "His eyes were enlightened," literally, "became bright." He had become weary and faint with the day's exertions and anxieties, and now recovers (see Job 33:30 and compare Psalm 13:3 ). Thus in sickness and grief, the eyes are dull and heavy; dying eyes are glazed; but health and joy render them bright and sparkling, as with a light from within. (2) In Psalm 18:28 the King James Version, The word נגהּ , nāghah , figuratively describes the believer's deliverance from the gloom of adversity and the restoration of joy in the knowledge of God.
