In the other Testament 4 words
- חָזוֹן châzôwn · H2377 · dream, vision
- Hebrew חָזוֹן (vision) and Greek ὅραμα (something gazed at, spectacle) both denote supernatural visual revelations, with the Greek term emphasizing the object-of-sight aspect while the Hebrew encompasses the broader revelatory experience; the LXX regularly renders חָזוֹן with ὅραμα in prophetic and apocalyptic contexts.
- מַרְאֶה marʼeh · H4758 · appearance, sight, ugly
- ὅραμα (hórama, G3705) serves as the Greek equivalent for מַרְאֶה (marʼeh, H4758) when the Hebrew term denotes a supernatural vision or divine appearance (as in prophetic contexts), though מַרְאֶה (marʼeh, H4758)'s semantic range extends more broadly to general physical appearance and countenance beyond the visionary register that ὅραμα specifically encodes.
- חֵזֵו chêzêv · H2376 · look, vision
- Aramaic חֵזֵו denotes a visionary experience or supernatural spectacle, directly equivalent to Greek ὅραμα in contexts describing divine revelations and prophetic visions.
- מַרְאָה marʼâh · H4759 · vision, mirror
- Hebrew מַרְאָה denotes a vision or supernatural spectacle seen in prophetic context, directly paralleling Greek ὅραμα's sense of a divinely-sent visual revelation.
