Strong's Lexicon Kol-chozeh: Every seer, all visionaries Original Word: כָּל־חֹזֶה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָזָה (chazah), meaning "to see" or "to behold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for a seer or prophet is προφήτης (prophētēs), Strong's Greek 4396, which also denotes one who speaks forth by divine inspiration. Usage: The term "Kol-chozeh" refers to all individuals who are seers or visionaries, those who have been given the ability to perceive divine visions or revelations. In the biblical context, seers were often prophets who received messages from God through visions and were tasked with conveying these messages to the people of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, seers played a crucial role in guiding the spiritual and moral direction of the nation. They were considered intermediaries between God and the people, often providing counsel to kings and leaders. The role of a seer was both revered and feared, as they were believed to possess insight into God's will and future events. The term "chozeh" is closely related to "nabi" (prophet), though "chozeh" emphasizes the visionary aspect of the prophetic experience.
