Strong's Lexicon tsaphah: To look out, watch, keep watch, spy, observe Original Word: צָפָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "tsaphah" is "σκέπτομαι" (skopeo - Strong's G4648), which also means to look at, observe, or consider. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsaphah" primarily means to look out or watch. It conveys the idea of observing with intent or vigilance, often in the context of a watchman or someone who is keeping guard. This term is used in various contexts, including literal watching, prophetic observation, and metaphorical vigilance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the role of a watchman was crucial for the safety and security of a city or community. Watchmen were stationed on city walls or towers to observe and report any approaching danger. This role was not only practical but also carried a spiritual connotation, as prophets were often seen as watchmen for the people, tasked with warning them of impending judgment or calling them to repentance.
