SIBI-P1 H2374-03

the vision-beholder

Rootחזה (ḥ-z-h)
Core Meaningsto see, behold, perceive, gaze upon, see in vision
Semantic Rangeseer, prophetic visionary, one who perceives divine revelation, gazer (including star-gazer), observer of visions
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Bible, the חֹזֶה is a recognized prophetic figure distinguished by receiving revelation through sight or vision. The term highlights the experiential and visual dimension of prophecy, emphasizing divine disclosure through revealed sight rather than mere speech.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular absolute form with prefixed definite article (הַ). Morphologically a Qal active participle functioning as a substantive ("one who sees"), hence "the one who beholds."
Rendering RationaleThe term derives from the root חזה, "to see" or "to behold in vision," and appears here with the definite article as a masculine singular active participle used substantively. "The vision-beholder" preserves the participial force (one who is actively seeing) and the visionary nuance inherent in the root, while reflecting the masculine singular definite form.
