SIBI-P1 G308-11
he looked up
| Root | ἀναβλέπω (anablepō) |
| Core Meanings | to look up, to lift the eyes, to regain sight, to see again |
| Semantic Range | to look up physically, to lift one’s eyes, to regain sight after blindness, to recover vision, to direct attention upward |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in healing contexts for the restoration of sight, the term carries both literal and symbolic force—depicting physical recovery and, at times, spiritual awakening or renewed perception granted by divine intervention. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S). The aorist denotes a simple, completed past action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a factual event. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἀνά (up) with βλέπω (to see/look), literally meaning "to look up." The aorist active indicative, 3rd person singular (IAA3S), is rendered as a simple past action—"he looked up"—preserving both the upward directional sense of the root and the completed past aspect indicated by the aorist. |
