NRSV translation of Hebrew term called “Lucifer” by KJV and morning star or star of the morning by other translations. The planet Venus appears as a morning “star” at dawn. Isaiah 14:12 compares the splendor of the Babylonian king to the Day Star. 2 Peter 1:19 describes Christ as the morning star which outshines the light of the earlier prophetic witness. The Hebrew term appears only in Isaiah 14:12 . The translation “Lucifer” comes from the Latin translation called the Vulgate. See Lucifer .
