Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 3708 (ὁράω, horao): This Greek term means "to see" or "to perceive," and is often used in the New Testament to describe physical sight as well as spiritual insight or vision.
Strong's Greek Number 991 (βλέπω, blepo): Another Greek word for "to see," which can imply both literal and metaphorical sight, similar to the role of a "chozeh" in perceiving divine visions.

In summary, the Hebrew term "chozeh" encapsulates the dual concepts of visionary insight and covenantal commitment, reflecting its significant role in the spiritual and communal life of ancient Israel.

Usage: The word "chozeh" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who receive divine visions or revelations. It is often translated as "seer" in English. Additionally, it can refer to a formal agreement or covenant.

Context: Role as a Seer: In the context of the Hebrew Bible, a "chozeh" is someone who is granted the ability to see visions, often of a prophetic nature. This role is closely associated with receiving and interpreting divine messages. The "chozeh" is considered a spiritual intermediary who conveys God's will to the people. Notable figures identified as "chozeh" include Gad, David's seer (2 Samuel 24:11), and Hanani, the seer who confronted King Asa (2 Chronicles 16:7).
Covenantal Aspect: The term "chozeh" can also refer to a compact or covenant, emphasizing the binding nature of agreements made under divine or solemn circumstances. This usage underscores the importance of faithfulness and commitment in relationships, whether between individuals or between God and His people.
