Strong's Lexicon Roeh: Seer Original Word: רֹאֵה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָאָה (ra'ah), meaning "to see" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao) - to see, perceive - G991 (βλέπω, blepo) - to see, to look at Usage: The term "roeh" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a "seer," a person who is granted divine insight or vision. This role is closely associated with that of a prophet, though it emphasizes the aspect of seeing or perceiving divine revelations. Seers were individuals who received messages from God, often through visions, and conveyed them to the people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, seers played a crucial role in guiding the spiritual and sometimes political direction of the nation. They were considered intermediaries between God and the people, providing counsel, warnings, and revelations. The role of the seer was recognized and respected, and they often worked alongside priests and kings. Over time, the term "prophet" became more prevalent, but "seer" highlights the visionary aspect of their ministry.
