Mirror

The concept of a mirror in the Bible serves as a metaphor for self-reflection, truth, and the examination of one's life in light of God's Word.

In biblical times, mirrors were made of polished metal and provided a limited reflection. This context enhances the metaphor of seeing oneself imperfectly and the need for divine truth to reveal our true selves.
