In Job 25:5, Bildad argues that even celestial bodies lack purity before God: 'Behold, even the moon — it does not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.' The Hiphil verb denotes giving light or shining brightly. Bildad's point is theological: if heavenly luminaries appear dim or impure when measured against God's holiness, how much less can mortal humans claim righteousness? The image underscores divine transcendence through cosmic comparison.
