The term is used to convey the act of regarding or considering something with intention or purpose. It is often associated with the process of accounting or evaluating, reflecting a thoughtful or deliberate consideration. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is translated in contexts where individuals or groups are considering or regarding matters of importance, often in relation to divine or royal decrees.

For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the consideration of plans or intentions, reflecting the thoughtful deliberation of actions or decrees. The usage of חֲשַׁב in these contexts underscores the importance of intentionality and the weight of decisions made by individuals in positions of authority.
