    LUCIFER

    Has anyone looked up the Hebrew word translated as LUCIFER in Isaiah 14.

    That Hebrew word appears about 30 times in other scriptures as HOWL.

    Why did the translators translate it Howl about 29 times and ONLY ONE TIME as LUCIFER.

    Lucifer appears only once in the scriptures.

    God Bless You!

    Hey ELB,

    The Hebrew word I see is helel (shining one), If I recall correctly, I believe the translators had trouble with this because Jesus is referred to as the bright and morning star in Revelation 22:16. They struggled with how to translate this proverb against the king of Babylon. The word Lucifer is from two Latin words 'lucem ferre', derived from roots LUX (light) and FERRE (to carry). I believe Greek is phosphoros or eosphoros.

    I will not get into all the folklore, cultures, and myths but Lucifer was a name for the planet Venus, which is the brightest in the morning, but it was also called the evening star. Forgive me if I am wrong, someone else that has done a better study on this may can give you a better answer.

    God bless,

    RLW
