'Shadow' in the Bible
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
