SIBI-P1 H2370-06
you gazed
| Root | חזה (ḥ-z-h) |
| Core Meanings | seeing, gazing, beholding, perceiving (especially in vision) |
| Semantic Range | to see, to gaze upon, to behold in a vision, to perceive mentally, to experience a dream, to regard attentively |
| Conceptual Significance | חזה is frequently used in prophetic and apocalyptic contexts for visionary sight, marking divine revelation as something "gazed upon" rather than merely observed. It underscores the experiential and revelatory nature of prophetic perception in the biblical tradition. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 2nd person masculine singular. From the Aramaic cognate חֲזָא corresponding to Hebrew חָזָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חזה conveys the act of gazing or beholding, often with visionary or perceptive force. The Qal perfect 2ms form is rendered "you gazed," preserving the simple active stem (Qal), the completed aspect (perfect), and the second masculine singular person. |
