Semantic Categories¶

1. Prophetic Revelation — Vision Received¶

Isa 21:2 — "A grievous vision (chazuwth qashah) is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth." The word denotes the revelatory content — what the prophet has been shown.
Isa 29:11 — "And the vision (chazuwth) of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed." The entire prophetic revelation has become incomprehensible, like a sealed document.

2. Striking Appearance — Notable/Conspicuous¶

Dan 8:5 — "the goat had a notable horn (qeren chazuwth) between his eyes." Here chazuwth modifies the horn — describing it as conspicuous, visually striking.
Dan 8:8 — "for it came up four notable ones (chazuwth arba') toward the four winds of heaven." The four replacement horns are described as conspicuous or prominent.

3. Compact / Agreement¶

Isa 28:18 — "your covenant (b'rith) with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement (chazuwth) with hell shall not stand." Parallel to b'rith, chazuwth here means a pact or agreement — the idea being something "seen to" or mutually looked upon as binding.
