SIBI-P1 H2372-06
you have gazed in vision
| Root | חזה (ḥ-z-h) |
| Core Meanings | gazing, seeing, beholding in vision, perceiving, contemplating |
| Semantic Range | to gaze at, behold, see in a vision, perceive mentally, contemplate, experience prophetic revelation |
| Conceptual Significance | חזה is frequently associated with prophetic experience, distinguishing ordinary sight from revelatory vision. It underscores the biblical concept that true perception may involve divine disclosure, not merely physical observation. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem (simple active), perfect (completed action), 2nd person masculine singular. The form חָזִיתָ marks a completed act of visionary seeing performed by a single male addressee. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root חזה conveys more than ordinary sight; it denotes gazing, beholding, or perceiving—often in a visionary or contemplative sense. The Qal perfect 2nd masculine singular form is rendered "you have gazed," reflecting completed action addressed to one male individual, while "in vision" preserves the root’s distinctive nuance of visionary perception. |
