The Hebrew verb khazah means to see, to behold, to perceive, or to receive a vision. It is closely associated with prophetic revelation and is used to describe the visionary experiences of the prophets. The noun form khozeh means 'seer' — one who receives divine visions.
Khazah is the standard prophetic word for receiving and perceiving divine revelation. The prophetic books are introduced with 'The vision [khazah] which Isaiah/Amos/Micah/etc. saw concerning...' indicating that their messages came through supernatural divine disclosure. This word distinguishes between ordinary human sight and Spirit-enabled perception of divine reality. The seer (khozeh) was not simply observing but receiving revelation. This gives khazah a crucial role in the theology of revelation and inspiration of Scripture.
