Thayer's Greek Lexicon
φέγγος, φέγγους, τό (akin to φαίνειν), from Aeschylus and Pindar down, light: of the moon, Mat 24:29; Mar 13:24; of a candle or lamp, Luk 11:33 R G T Tr marginal reading (cf. ἀστραπή, Luk 11:36). (Joe 2:10; Joe 3:15 (); Eze 1:4; Eze 1:13; Eze 1:27; Hos 7:6.) [SYNONYMS: αὐγή, φέγγος, φῶς: φῶς light — the general term, (of the light of a fire in Mar 14:54; Luk 22:56); φέγγος a more concrete and emphatic term (cf. Luk 11:33), the bright sunshine, the beam of light, etc.; αὐγή a still stronger term, suggesting the fiery nature of the light; used of shooting, heating, rays. A Greek spoke of ἡλίου, φῶς, φέγγος, αὐγή; or, φωτός φέγγος, αὐγή; or, φέγγους αὐγή; but these formulas are not reversible. Schmidt, chapter 33; cf. Trench, § xlvi.]
