Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chazo, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: Chazo is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a descendant of Nahor, Abraham's brother.

Context: Chazo is mentioned in the genealogical records of the family of Nahor, Abraham's brother. In Genesis 22:20-24, the text provides a list of Nahor's descendants through his wife Milcah and his concubine Reumah. Chazo is identified as one of the sons of Nahor's concubine Reumah. The passage reads: "And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah" (Genesis 22:24, BSB). Chazo is not directly mentioned in this verse, but is traditionally understood to be associated with this lineage. The name Chazo, meaning "seer" or "vision," reflects a common practice in ancient Hebrew culture of naming individuals with words that convey a particular characteristic or hoped-for trait.
