SIBI-P1 H2370-04
they gazed
| Root | חזא (ḥ-z-ʾ (Aram. ḥ-z-h)) |
| Core Meanings | seeing, gazing, beholding, perceiving, envisioning |
| Semantic Range | to see, behold, gaze upon, perceive, experience a vision, dream, or prophetic sight |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (notably Daniel), this root frequently relates to visionary revelation, emphasizing divinely granted sight or insight. It underscores the biblical theme that true understanding often comes through revealed vision rather than ordinary observation. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic verb, Peal (Qal) stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine plural; from the root חזא, cognate with Hebrew חזה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חזא in Aramaic conveys the act of seeing or gazing, often with the nuance of visionary perception. The form is Aramaic Peal (Qal) perfect, third person masculine plural, so "they gazed" preserves both the active sense of visual perception and the completed action in the masculine plural form. |
