Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of seeing or perceiving in the New Testament is ὁράω (horaō), Strong's Greek Number 3708, which similarly encompasses both physical sight and deeper understanding or insight.

Usage: The word רָאֶה is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often to describe the act of seeing or experiencing something firsthand. It can refer to literal sight, as in observing an object or event, or to a deeper understanding or realization of a truth or situation.

Context: • רָאֶה is a noun form that is closely related to the verb רָאָה, which appears frequently in the Hebrew Scriptures. The concept of seeing in the biblical context often goes beyond mere physical sight, encompassing a range of experiences and insights.
• In the Old Testament, רָאֶה is used to describe the act of seeing visions or divine revelations, as well as the experience of witnessing significant events. For example, in Genesis 16:13, Hagar names the LORD who spoke to her, "You are the God who sees me," acknowledging both His awareness and her experience of His presence.
• The term can also imply understanding or perceiving the significance of an event or message, as seen in prophetic literature where prophets "see" visions that convey divine messages.
• רָאֶה is used in various narrative and poetic contexts, emphasizing the importance of perception and experience in the relationship between God and His people. It underscores the idea that seeing is not just a physical act but also a spiritual and intellectual one.
