Strong's Lexicon chozeh: Seer, Visionary Original Word: חֹזֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao): To see, to perceive with the eyes, to experience. - G991 (βλέπω, blepo): To see, to discern, to have the power of sight. Usage: The term "chozeh" refers to a seer or visionary, someone who receives divine revelations or visions. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, a "chozeh" is often associated with prophets who are given insight into God's will and future events. This role is similar to that of a prophet, but with a particular emphasis on the visionary aspect of their revelations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, seers played a crucial role in guiding the people and their leaders according to God's will. They were respected figures who provided counsel and insight, often through visions or dreams. The role of a seer was recognized alongside that of prophets and priests, forming a triad of spiritual leadership in the community. Seers were instrumental in interpreting divine messages and were often consulted by kings and leaders for guidance.
