Strong's Lexicon raeh: To see, to look at, to inspect, to perceive, to consider Original Word: רָאֶה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao) - to see, to perceive - G991 (βλέπω, blepo) - to look at, to behold Usage: The Hebrew verb "ra'ah" primarily means "to see" or "to look." It encompasses a range of visual and perceptual activities, including observing, inspecting, perceiving, and considering. This verb is used in various contexts, from physical sight to spiritual insight and understanding. It often implies not just the act of seeing but also the process of understanding or discerning something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was closely linked to understanding and knowledge. The act of seeing was not merely a physical activity but also a metaphor for gaining insight or revelation. Prophets and seers in the Bible were often described using this verb, as their role involved perceiving divine messages and conveying them to the people. The concept of seeing was integral to the Hebrew worldview, where physical sight often paralleled spiritual insight.
