To rise (of sun or luminaries), shine forth in divine radiance, or break out (of a skin condition)
In its most common usage, zarach describes the sun climbing above the horizon, the daily spectacle of dawn that governs all earthly rhythms (Eccl 1:5). Yet the prophets seized this image for something grander: God Himself shining forth over His people in theophanic splendor, as at Sinai (Deut 33:2) or in the promised sunrise of righteousness (Mal 4:2). Spanish renders the divine sense as 'resplandecer' (to gleam), distinguishing it from the ordinary 'salir' of physical sunrise. A single surprising occurrence in 2 Chronicles 26:19 applies the word to leprosy breaking out on King Uzziah's forehead, as if disease itself dawns upon the skin.
3. break out (skin condition) — A medical sense describing a skin condition breaking out or appearing on the body's surface, used uniquely of the leprosy that erupted on King Uzziah's forehead in 2 Chronicles 26:19. The image of something 'rising' on the skin retains the root's core spatial metaphor of emergence, though the domain shifts entirely from cosmology to priestly diagnosis. 1×

1. rise, come forth (sun/light) — The physical rising of the sun or daylight over the horizon, describing dawn or sunrise as a natural phenomenon. This is the default sense, appearing in narrative and wisdom literature alike. In Genesis 32:31 the sun rises upon Jacob after his wrestling at Peniel, and in Judges 9:33 it marks the timing for military action. French and Spanish both use straightforward sunrise vocabulary here (lever, salir). 13×

2. shine forth, beam (divine radiance) — The radiant shining forth of God's glory or splendor, typically in theophany or eschatological promise. Deuteronomy 33:2 uses it of Yahweh dawning from Seir, while Isaiah 60:1 proclaims 'your light has risen.' Spanish employs 'resplandecer' (to gleam brilliantly), signaling a semantic shift from mere rising to luminous majesty. 4×
