Strong's Lexicon hazah: To see, behold, perceive, prophesy Original Word: חָזָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao): To see, perceive, attend to - G991 (βλέπω, blepo): To look at, behold Usage: The Hebrew verb "hazah" primarily means to see or behold, often in a visionary or prophetic sense. It is used to describe the act of perceiving with spiritual insight or receiving divine revelation. This term is frequently associated with prophets who "see" visions from God, conveying messages that are not merely physical observations but spiritual insights or future events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, prophets played a crucial role as intermediaries between God and the people. The ability to "see" visions or receive divine revelations was a hallmark of a prophet's calling. This was a time when written scriptures were not as accessible, and God communicated His will through chosen individuals. The act of "seeing" in this context was not just physical sight but a deeper, spiritual perception granted by God.
