Berean Strong's Lexicon chazoth: Vision, appearance Original Word: חֲזוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ὅραμα (horama), which also means "vision" or "sight." This term is used in passages such as Acts 10:3, where Peter receives a vision from God. Usage: The term "chazoth" refers to a vision or a supernatural appearance, often associated with divine revelation or prophetic insight. It is used to describe the experience of seeing something beyond the natural realm, typically granted by God to prophets or individuals chosen to receive a message or insight. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, visions were a common means through which God communicated with His people. Prophets often received visions as a way to convey God's will, warnings, or future events. These visions were considered authoritative and were integral to the spiritual and communal life of Israel. The concept of visions is deeply rooted in the Hebrew understanding of God as an active and communicative presence in the world.
