Enlighten:
from phos, "light,"
(a), used intransitively, signifies "to give light, shine," Rev 22:5;
(b), used transitively, "to enlighten, illumine," is rendered "enlighten" in Eph 1:18, metaphorically of spiritual "enlightenment;" so Jhn 1:9, i.e., "lighting every man" (by reason of His coming); Eph 3:9, "to make (all men) see" (RV marg., "to bring to light"); Hbr 6:4, "were enlightened;" Hbr 10:32, RV, "enlightened," AV, "illuminated."
See ILLUMINATED, LIGHT. Cp. photismos, "light," and photeinos, "full of light."
