      hence honour (Ps. 49:12); glory (Gen. 31:1; Matt. 4:8; Rev.
      21:24, 26).
     
         (2.) Honour, dignity (1 Kings 3:13; Heb. 2:7 1 Pet. 1:24); of
      God (Ps. 19:1; 29:1); of the mind or heart (Gen. 49:6; Ps. 7:5;
      Acts 2:46).
     
         (3.) Splendour, brightness, majesty (Gen. 45:13; Isa. 4:5;
      Acts 22:11; 2 Cor. 3:7); of Jehovah (Isa. 59:19; 60:1; 2 Thess.

         (4.) The glorious moral attributes, the infinite perfections
      of God (Isa. 40:5; Acts 7:2; Rom. 1:23; 9:23; Eph. 1:12). Jesus

         (6.) The phrase "Give glory to God" (Josh. 7:19; Jer. 13:16)
      is a Hebrew idiom meaning, "Confess your sins." The words of the
      Jews to the blind man, "Give God the praise" (John 9:24), are an
      adjuration to confess. They are equivalent to, "Confess that you
      are an impostor," "Give God the glory by speaking the truth;"
      for they denied that a miracle had been wrought.
