Berean Strong's Lexicon chezu: Vision Original Word: חֵזוּ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "vision" in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ὅραμα (horama), Strong's Greek #3705, which also denotes a supernatural vision or revelation. Usage: The term "chezu" refers to a vision, often of a prophetic or divine nature. It is used to describe a supernatural revelation or insight given by God to a prophet or seer. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, visions are a means by which God communicates His will, guidance, or future events to His chosen messengers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions were a common way for prophets to receive messages from God. These visions could occur in dreams or while awake, and they often contained symbolic imagery that required interpretation. The role of the prophet was crucial in conveying God's messages to the people, and visions were a key component of this divine communication. The cultural context of the time placed a high value on prophetic insight, and those who received visions were often regarded with great respect and authority.
