Strong's Lexicon mareh: Appearance, vision, sight, form Original Word: מַרְאֶה Word Origin: From the root רָאָה (ra'ah), meaning "to see" or "to look." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3706 (horama): Refers to a vision or something seen, often in a supernatural context. - G1491 (eidos): Refers to form, appearance, or shape. Usage: The Hebrew word "mareh" primarily refers to the appearance or form of something as perceived by the eye. It can denote both physical appearance and visionary experiences. In the context of visions, it often describes what is seen in a prophetic or supernatural revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical appearance was often linked to one's status and role in society. Prophetic visions were considered divine communications, and the "mareh" of such visions was significant for conveying God's messages. The concept of appearance also extended to the divine, where God's glory and presence were often described in terms of visible manifestations.
