Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek 3708 (ὁράω, horaō): to see, perceive, attend to
Strong's Greek 991 (βλέπω, blepō): to look at, behold, perceive

These Greek entries correspond to the concept of seeing or perceiving, similar to the Aramaic חֲזָא, and are used in the New Testament to describe both physical sight and spiritual insight.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of seeing or perceiving, often with a sense of contemplation or vision. It can imply both physical sight and mental perception, such as dreaming or envisioning.

Context: The Aramaic verb חֲזָא (chăzā') appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. This verb is primarily used to describe the act of seeing or perceiving, often in a visionary or prophetic context. For instance, in the book of Daniel, it is used to describe Daniel's visions and dreams, which are significant for their prophetic insights and revelations. The verb can also imply a habitual or usual action, suggesting a regular or customary form of seeing or perceiving.

In Daniel 7:1 (BSB), the term is used in the context of Daniel's dreams: "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account." Here, חֲזָא conveys the idea of seeing visions in a dream state, highlighting the mental and spiritual perception involved.

The usage of חֲזָא in the Aramaic sections of the Bible underscores the importance of vision and perception in understanding divine messages and prophecies. It reflects the broader biblical theme of God communicating with His people through dreams and visions, a common motif in both the Old and New Testaments.
