Original Word: חוֹזַי
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: Chowzay
Pronunciation: kho-ZAH-ee
Phonetic Spelling: (kho-zah'-ee)
Definition: Chozai
Meaning: Chozai

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there may not be a direct Greek equivalent for the name Chozay, the concept of seeing or beholding is captured in Greek by words like ὁράω (horao, Strong's Greek 3708), which means "to see" or "to perceive."

Usage: Chozay is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with individuals who are often linked to prophetic or visionary roles, reflecting the root meaning of "seeing" or "beholding."

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the person's role or character. The root חָזָה (chazah) suggests a connection to seeing or perceiving, which could imply a role in receiving divine visions or insights. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God revealing His will through prophets and seers.
