Glory @ (Heb. kabhod; Gr. doxa).

(1.) Abundance, wealth, treasure, and hence honour kjv@Psalms:49:12); glory kjv@Genesis:31:1; kjv@Matthew:4:8; kjv@Revelation:21:24-26).

(2.) Honour, dignity (kjvKings:3:13; kjv@Hebrews:2:7 kjv@1Peter:1:24); of God kjv@Psalms:19:1 kjv@Psalms:29:1); of the mind or heart kjv@Genesis:49:6; kjv@Psalms:7:5; kjv@Acts:2:46).

(3.) Splendour, brightness, majesty kjv@Genesis:45:13; kjv@Isaiah:4:5; kjv@Acts:22:11; kjv@2Corinthians:3:7); of Jehovah kjv@Isaiah:59:19 kjv@Isaiah:60:1; kjv@2Thessalonians:1:9).

(4.) The glorious moral attributes, the infinite perfections of God kjv@Isaiah:40:5; kjv@Acts:7:2; kjv@Romans:1:23 kjv@Romans:9:23; kjv@Ephesians:1:12). Jesus is the "brightness of the Father's glory" kjv@Hebrews:1:3; kjv@John:1:14 kjv@John:2:11).

(6.) The phrase "Give glory to God" kjv@Joshua:7:19; kjv@Jeremiah:13:16) is a Hebrew idiom meaning, "Confess your sins." The words of the Jews to the blind man, "Give God the praise" kjv@John:9:24), are an adjuration to confess. They are equivalent to, "Confess that you are an impostor," "Give God the glory by speaking the truth;" for they denied that a miracle had been wrought.
