Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναβλέπω, the concept of sight and the restoration of sight can be related to Hebrew terms such as רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong's Hebrew 7200), which means "to see" or "to perceive." This connection underscores the continuity between the Old and New Testaments in the theme of divine intervention and healing. Usage: The verb ἀναβλέπω is used in the New Testament primarily in the context of physical sight being restored, as well as metaphorically to indicate spiritual insight or understanding. Context: The Greek verb ἀναβλέπω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals receive or regain their physical sight, often through miraculous healing by Jesus. This term is used to describe both the literal act of looking up and the restoration of sight to the blind. The act of looking up can also imply a spiritual awakening or enlightenment, as the physical act of seeing is often paralleled with understanding or perceiving spiritual truths.
