Strong's Lexicon rahah: To see, perceive, consider Original Word: רָהָה 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 perceive." It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to denote physical sight, as well as metaphorical understanding or insight. The term can also imply the act of considering or looking upon something with attention or care. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was often associated with understanding and knowledge. The act of seeing was not merely a physical function but was deeply connected to one's perception and discernment. In a time when written texts were not as prevalent, visual observation played a crucial role in learning and communication. The Hebrew Bible frequently uses "ra'ah" to describe God's omniscience and His ability to see into the hearts and minds of people.
