Word Origin: Derived from the root חָזָה (chazah), which means "to see" or "to behold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1680 (ἐλπίς, elpis): While not a direct translation, this Greek term for "hope" can be related to the concept of revelation or vision in the sense of anticipating future fulfillment or divine promise.
• G2768 (κλῆρος, kleros): This term, meaning "lot" or "inheritance," can be associated with the idea of a divine portion or revelation given to individuals, similar to the insights or visions described by חָזוּת.

In summary, חָזוּת (Chazuth) is a multifaceted Hebrew term that captures the essence of seeing or perceiving divine truths, often through visions or striking appearances, and plays a significant role in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The word חָזוּת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe visions or appearances that are often of a prophetic or revelatory nature. It can refer to the act of seeing something significant or the content of what is seen, particularly in a spiritual or divine context.

Context: • חָזוּת (Chazuth) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the importance of seeing or perceiving something beyond the ordinary. It is often associated with prophetic visions or divine revelations, where the seer is granted insight into spiritual truths or future events.
• In Isaiah 28:18, the term is used in a context that suggests a "compact" or agreement, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the word. The passage reads: "Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it."
• The use of חָזוּת in the Hebrew Bible underscores the significance of divine communication and the role of prophets as intermediaries who convey God's messages to His people. It reflects the belief that God reveals His will and purposes through visions and appearances that are both awe-inspiring and instructive.
