Isaiah's "brightness of thy rising" is read as the light of God shining on Zion and drawing the nations. ### Examples - and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot; (Torah LEV.14.56, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/rising/#x1) - the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.'
