Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root רָאָה (ra'ah), which means "to see" or "to look."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3708 • ὁράω (horao): To see, perceive, attend to.
• G3700 • ὀπτάνομαι (optanomai): To appear, to be seen.
• G3706 • ὄψις (opsis): Appearance, sight, face.

These Greek terms reflect similar concepts of seeing and appearance, emphasizing the continuity of the theme of sight across both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.

Usage: This word is used in the context of visual perception or the act of seeing. It can refer to the physical act of seeing or the appearance of something as perceived by the eyes.

Context: רֱאִי (Re'i) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the concept of sight or appearance. It is closely related to the verb רָאָה (ra'ah), which means "to see." The term is used to convey the idea of visual perception, often in the context of how something is seen or appears to the observer. In the biblical narrative, sight is frequently associated with understanding, revelation, and discernment. The ability to see is often linked with spiritual insight or the lack thereof, as seen in various biblical passages where physical sight is used metaphorically to describe spiritual awareness or blindness.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of sight is integral to many stories and teachings, emphasizing the importance of both physical and spiritual vision. For example, in the story of Balaam, the ability to see the angel of the Lord is a turning point in his journey (Numbers 22:31). Similarly, the prophets often speak of seeing visions, which are divine revelations that guide and instruct the people of Israel.
