SIBI-P1 H2372-14
you will behold in vision
| Root | חזה (ḥ-z-h) |
| Core Meanings | gazing, seeing, envisioning, perceiving by sight, beholding in vision |
| Semantic Range | to see, gaze upon, behold, perceive, experience a vision, prophesy (by visionary experience) |
| Conceptual Significance | חזה is frequently associated with prophetic vision and revelatory sight, distinguishing ordinary seeing from divinely granted perception. It underscores the biblical concept that true insight often comes through visionary encounter granted by YHWH. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular (HVqi2ms); simple active voice indicating incomplete or future action: "you (ms) will see/behold." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חזה carries the sense of gazing or seeing, often with the nuance of visionary perception. The Qal imperfect 2ms form תֶחֱזֶה is rendered "you will behold in vision," reflecting the simple active stem and second masculine singular future sense, while preserving the root’s emphasis on intentional, perceptive seeing. |
