Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βλέπω (blepō), meaning "to see" or "to look."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of seeing in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by the root רָאָה (ra'ah), Strong's Hebrew Number 7200. This verb is used extensively throughout the Old Testament to denote both physical sight and spiritual insight. For example, in Genesis 16:13, Hagar names God "El Roi," meaning "the God who sees me," highlighting the divine attribute of perception and understanding. Similarly, in the prophetic literature, seeing often symbolizes receiving divine revelation or insight, as seen in Isaiah 6:1, where the prophet sees the Lord in a vision.

Usage: The word βλέτεος is not directly found in the New Testament text but is related to the verb βλέπω, which appears frequently. The concept of seeing or perceiving is central to many teachings and parables in the New Testament.

Context: The concept of seeing, as derived from the root verb βλέπω, plays a significant role in the New Testament. It is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual insight or understanding. For instance, Jesus frequently uses the idea of seeing to contrast physical sight with spiritual perception. In the Berean Standard Bible, passages such as Matthew 13:13-16 highlight this duality: "This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.'" Here, the act of seeing is not merely about physical vision but about comprehending spiritual truths.

The Greek culture placed a high value on sight and observation, which is reflected in the New Testament's use of βλέπω and its derivatives. The emphasis on seeing is not just about the physical act but also about recognizing and understanding divine truths. In John 9:39, Jesus says, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind." This statement underscores the transformative power of spiritual sight, which is a recurring theme in the teachings of Jesus.
