Light (אוֹר ʼôr)

And so He has said: “It is a small thing that you should be My Servant so as to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and so as to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have offered you as a light for the Gentiles, so that you may be My salvation, even to the furthest regions of the earth. (Is 49:6)

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר נָקֵ֨ל מִֽהְיוֹתְךָ֥ לִי֙ עֶ֔בֶד לְהָקִים֙ אֶת־שִׁבְטֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֔ב וּנְציּרֵ֥י* יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְהָשִׁ֑יב וּנְתַתִּ֨יךָ֙ לְאֹ֣ורגּוֹיִ֔ם לִֽהְיֹ֥ות יְשׁוּעָתִ֖י עַד־קְצֵ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Et dixit: Parum est ut sis mihi servus ad suscitandas tribus Iacob, et fæces Israel convertendas: Ecce dedi te in lucem Gentium, ut sis salus mea usque ad extremum terræ.
