Near synonyms 3 words
- מַרְאֶה marʼeh · H4758 · appearance, sight, ugly
- חָזוּת (châzûwth, H2380) "vision" and מַרְאֶה (marʼeh, H4758) "appearance, vision, sight" are distinct lexemes.
- רֹאֶה rôʼeh · H7203 · seer, vision
- Both words denote "vision" in prophetic or revelatory contexts; they are distinct Hebrew words with overlapping senses.
- מַרְאָה marʼâh · H4759 · vision, mirror
- Both lexemes share the "vision" sense and co-occur in the Vision domain. However, מַרְאָה (marʼâh, H4759) "looking glass, vision" has a concrete physical-object sense ("looking glass") alongside its vision sense, while חָזוּת (châzûwth, H2380) appears more abstract/prophetic ("agreement, notable (one), vision"). The relationship is genuine but modest; they overlap in the "vision" semantic space but are not fully interchangeable synonyms due to מַרְאָה (marʼâh, H4759)'s additional concrete tool sense.
