Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of sight leading to satisfaction is found in Strong's Greek Number G3856, ὀπτάνομαι (optanomai), which means "to appear" or "to be seen." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe appearances that bring understanding or fulfillment, similar to the Hebrew concept of רַאֲוָה.

Usage: This Hebrew word is used in contexts where the act of seeing or perceiving leads to a sense of satisfaction or fulfillment. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specific and nuanced application.

Context: רַאֲוָה (ra'awah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to express the concept of sight that results in satisfaction. The term is rooted in the broader Hebrew understanding of seeing as not merely a physical act but an experience that can lead to emotional or spiritual fulfillment. In biblical literature, seeing often transcends the physical realm, encompassing understanding, insight, and the realization of desires. The use of רַאֲוָה in scripture highlights moments where visual perception aligns with inner contentment, suggesting a harmony between external observation and internal satisfaction. This term underscores the biblical theme that true satisfaction is often linked to divine revelation and understanding.
