Strong's Lexicon chazah: To see, to behold, to perceive, to prophesy Original Word: חָזָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao): To see, to perceive - G3700 (ὀπτάνομαι, optanomai): To appear, to be seen - G991 (βλέπω, blepo): To look at, to behold Usage: The Hebrew verb "chazah" primarily means to see or behold, often with a sense of perceiving or understanding something beyond the physical sight. It is frequently used in the context of visions or prophetic revelations, indicating a deeper spiritual insight or divine communication. The term can also imply a sense of contemplation or meditation on what is seen. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions and prophetic revelations were considered significant means through which God communicated with His people. Prophets often received divine messages through visions, which they then conveyed to the people. The ability to "chazah" was seen as a gift from God, enabling prophets to perceive His will and guidance. This concept was deeply embedded in the religious and cultural practices of the time, where spiritual insight was highly valued.
