Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition
 I. אוֺרָה noun feminine light (late, Mishna id., compare Aramaic אוּרְתָּא evening-light, moon-light, star-light, etc.)

1 light (opposed to חֲשֵׁיכָה) Psalm 139:12.

2 light of joy & happiness Esther 8:16; plural intensive אוֺרוֺת light of life Isaiah 26:19 (light that quickens dead bodies as dew the plants Ew Hi De Che Di RVm; see Br MP 303 compare אוֺר חַיִּים; but Ki Ges MV Bö RV translate herbs).

II. [אוֺרָה] noun feminine herb (so Mishna, Ges compare נצץ, Arabic = lights & flowers, & Samaritan יאר = דֶּשֶׁא of Genesis 1:11,12) only plural אוֺרוֺת herbs 2 Kings 4:39 (compare Isaiah 26:19 above below I. אוֺרָה).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אוֹרָה f.

(1)  light, Psalms 139:12 metaph. of prosperity, Esther 8:16.

(2) plur. אוֹרוֹת herbs, green herbs, 2 Kings 4:39 from the idea of brightness being in the Phœnicio-Shemitic languages applied to verdure and flowers. Comp. נָצַץ Arab. انوار lights and flowers. In the cognate languages it may be compared with the Samarit. Ecc 1:1-18 Genesis 1:11, 12, for דֶּשֶׁא herb. So Isaiah 26:19 כִּי טַל אוֹרוֹת טַלֶּךָ “for the dew of herbs, is thy dew,” i.e. the dew of God shall refresh those that rise from the dead, like the dew refreshes plants. Compare Sir_46:12 49:10 others explain it “dew of light,” i.e. of life, or lifegiving dew, comp. אוֹר letter (d).
