Genesis 31:1
Excerpted from: Of Snowflakes and Suns and GloryThe verb glorify means to give glory to someone or to something. It is to bestow honor and praise or renown on someone. In Hebrew there are two nouns, which the translators typically render as glory in our translations. Interestingly, both of those nouns appear in Exodus 28:2. God is speaking to Moses and states “Make holy garments for your brother Aaron for glory and for beauty.” The two nouns are glory and beauty. The first noun translated as glory is Strong’s 3519. Its root means “heavy” and it is sometimes translated as rich or wealthy. A rich person is heavy with gold. I think Vines mentions that. As an example, though we will not turn there, you can check Genesis 31:1 in the Amplified Version and here the Hebrew word, which the King James Version translates as glory, is rendered as wealth or honor. In some other versions it is rendered as riches. Strong’s 3519 means splendor and honor.
