308. anablepó
Strong's Lexicon
anablepó: To look up, to regain sight, to see again

Original Word: ἀναβλέπω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: anablepó
Pronunciation: an-ab-lep'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (an-ab-lep'-o)
Definition: To look up, to regain sight, to see again
Meaning: I look up, recover my sight.

Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and βλέπω (blepó, meaning "to see" or "to look").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναβλέπω, the concept of seeing or regaining sight can be related to Hebrew words like רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong's H7200), which means "to see."

Usage: The verb ἀναβλέπω primarily means "to look up" or "to regain sight." It is often used in the New Testament in the context of physical healing, particularly when Jesus restores sight to the blind. The term can also imply a spiritual awakening or enlightenment, as it involves the act of seeing anew or gaining a new perspective.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, blindness was a common affliction and often left individuals marginalized and dependent on others. The restoration of sight was not only a physical healing but also a social and spiritual restoration. In Jewish culture, sight was often associated with understanding and insight, making the act of regaining sight a powerful metaphor for spiritual awakening and divine intervention.
