Strong's Lexicon horatos: Visible, seen Original Word: ὁρατός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁράω (horaō), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "horatos," the concept of visibility is often expressed in Hebrew through words like רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong's H7200), meaning "to see." Usage: The Greek adjective "horatos" refers to that which is visible or can be seen with the eyes. It is used to describe objects or phenomena that are perceptible to human sight, contrasting with the invisible or unseen. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, visibility was often associated with reality and truth. What could be seen was considered real and trustworthy, while the unseen was often associated with the spiritual or the unknown. This cultural understanding is reflected in the biblical text, where the visible world is often contrasted with the invisible spiritual realities.
