(“lucifer” is the ‘king james version’ rendering of the ‘hebrew’ word הֵילֵל in ‘isaiah’ (‘isaiah 14:12′))
(the ‘vulgate’ translation uses the latin word lucifer, but with a ‘lower-case initial’)
(the ‘hebrew’ word – trans-literated hêlêl or heylel (pronounced as HAY-lale) – occurs once in the ‘hebrew bible’ + according to the KJV-based ‘strong’s concordance’ means “shining one / light-bearer”)
.
“i feel like letting go…”
.
(the ‘septuagint’ renders הֵילֵל in ‘greek’ as ἑωσφόρος (heōsphoros)…
(…literally “bringer of dawn”…)
(…which was named for the ‘morning star’)
.
(the word lucifer is taken from the ‘latin vulgate’, which translates הֵילֵל as lucifer, meaning “the morning star / the planet venus”, or (as an adjective) – “light-bringing”)
.
(later christian tradition came to use the latin word for “morning star” (lucifer) as a ‘proper name’ (“lucifer”) for ‘the devil’)
(as he was before his ‘fall’)
.
(as a result, “‘Lucifer’ has become a by-word for Satan / the ‘Devil’ in the church and in popular literature”, as in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, Joost van den Vondel’s Lucifer and John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”)
(however, the ‘Latin’ word never came to be used almost exclusively, as in ‘English’, in this way, and was applied to others also, including ‘Jesus’)
(the image of a ‘morning star’ fallen from the sky is generally believed among scholars to have a parallel in ‘Canaanite’ mythology)
(however, according to both Christian and Jewish ‘exegesis’, in the ‘Book of Isaiah’, chapter 14, the ‘King of Babylon’, ‘Nebuchadnezzar II’, conqueror of ‘Jerusalem’, is condemned in a prophetic vision by the prophet ‘Isaiah’ and is called the “Morning Star” (planet ‘Venus’))
(in this chapter the ‘hebrew text’ says הֵילֵל בֶּן-שָׁחַר (Helel ben Shachar, “shining one, son of the morning”))
.
(“helel ben shahar” may refer to the ‘morning star’, but the text in ‘isaiah 14’ gives no indication that ‘helel’ was a ‘star’ or ‘planet’)
