Berean Strong's Lexicon

chazon: Vision

Original Word: חָזוֹן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: chazon
Pronunciation: khaw-ZONE
Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-zone')
Definition: Vision
Meaning: a sight, a dream, revelation, oracle

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3705 (ὅραμα, horama): Refers to a vision or supernatural sight.

- G3706 (ὅρασις, horasis): Pertains to the act of seeing or a vision.

Usage: The term "chazon" primarily refers to a divine revelation or vision, often given to prophets as a means of conveying God's message to His people. It encompasses both the act of seeing and the content of what is seen, typically involving future events or divine truths. In the Hebrew Bible, "chazon" is used to describe the prophetic visions received by individuals such as Isaiah, Daniel, and others.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions were a common means through which God communicated with His prophets. These visions were not merely dreams but were considered authoritative messages from God, often containing symbolic imagery and requiring interpretation. Prophets played a crucial role in guiding the spiritual and moral direction of the nation, and their visions were integral to their ministry. The concept of divine vision was also prevalent in surrounding cultures, but the Hebrew understanding was distinct in its monotheistic context and its emphasis on ethical and covenantal themes.
