Berean Strong's Lexicon raah: To see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider Original Word: רָאָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3708 (ὁράω, horao) - to see, perceive - G991 (βλέπω, blepo) - to look at, behold Usage: The Hebrew verb "ra'ah" primarily means "to see" or "to look." It encompasses a range of visual and perceptual activities, including observing, inspecting, perceiving, and considering. In the biblical context, "ra'ah" is often used to describe both physical sight and spiritual or prophetic vision. It can imply understanding or discerning beyond mere physical sight, often involving insight or revelation from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was not just a physical act but also a metaphor for understanding and experiencing. The ability to "see" was often associated with wisdom and insight. Prophets, for example, were sometimes called "seers" because they could perceive God's will and future events. The concept of seeing was integral to the Hebrew worldview, where physical and spiritual realities were closely linked. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originscribal error for daah, q.v.
