Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts is ὅραμα (horama), which also means "vision" or "sight." Usage: The term "mechezah" refers to a vision or a sight, often used in the context of a prophetic vision or divine revelation. It conveys the idea of something seen or perceived, typically with spiritual or supernatural significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions were a common means through which God communicated with His prophets and people.
