These Greek terms similarly denote visions or appearances, often in a prophetic or revelatory context, aligning with the usage of חֵזֵו in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

Usage: The term חֵזֵו is used in the context of visions or appearances, particularly in the prophetic and apocalyptic literature of the Old Testament. It is often associated with divine revelations or supernatural insights.

Context: The Aramaic word חֵזֵו (chezev) appears in the context of the Book of Daniel, a text that contains significant portions written in Aramaic. This term is specifically used to describe visions or appearances that are often of a prophetic nature. In Daniel, these visions are typically revelations given to Daniel or other figures, providing insight into future events or divine mysteries. The use of חֵזֵו underscores the importance of visual revelation in the biblical narrative, where seeing is equated with understanding divine will or future occurrences. The term is closely related to the Hebrew concept of visions, which are a common medium through which God communicates with His prophets.
