חִזָּיוֹן H2384
Vision, prophetic revelation; a supernatural sight received in ecstasy or in the night, conveying divine communication.
This noun denotes a vision or revelatory experience, often received at night or in a prophetic trance. It is closely related to the more common hazon but tends to emphasize the vivid, visionary quality of the experience. In 2 Samuel 7:17, Nathan reports God's promise to David 'according to all this vision.' Job uses the word for the terrifying night visions that haunt the sufferer (Job 4:13; 7:14; 33:15), while Joel 3:1 promises that the young will see visions in the messianic age. Zechariah 13:4 warns that false prophets will be ashamed of their visions when God purifies the land.
Senses
1. vision, revelation — A vision or prophetic revelation -- a supernatural sight conveying divine truth, received in ecstatic states or during the night. Spanish uses 'vision,' French 'vision,' and German preserves the Hebrew forms, reflecting the word's consistent meaning across traditions. The semantic range spans nighttime visionary experiences (Job 4:13; 20:8; 33:15, often paired with dreams), prophetic oracles (2 Sam 7:17; Joel 3:1), and the 'Valley of Vision' in Isaiah 22:1, 5, a striking geographical-prophetic title for Jerusalem. Zechariah 13:4 extends the term to visions that false prophets will disown in the coming day of purification. 9×
