It can also imply a fixed or intense gaze, suggesting a metaphorical burning or consuming focus. This duality of meaning reflects both physical and metaphorical applications in the biblical text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the sun was a powerful and often feared force, capable of both giving life and causing destruction. The concept of scorching or burning was familiar to the Israelites, who lived in a region where the sun's heat could be relentless. This imagery is used in the Bible to convey both physical realities and spiritual truths, such as judgment or purification.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to catch sight of, look on<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>burned (1), caught sight (1), saw (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שָׁזַף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>catch sight of, look on</b></font> (of eye); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>3feminine singular suffix person, subject <font class="hebrew2">עַיִן</font>, <font class="hebrew2">שְׁוֶפַתּוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/20-9.htm">Job 20:9</a>, so (of thing) <a href="/interlinear/job/28-7.htm">Job 28:7</a>; compare <font class="hebrew2">שֶׁשְּׁזָפַתְנִי הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/1-6.htm">Songs 1:6</a> <em>because the sun hath looked on me.</em> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>look up, see <p>A primitive root; to tan (by sun-burning); figuratively (as if by a piercing ray) to scan -- look up, see. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>זפתו שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ שְׁ֭זָפַתּוּ שֶׁשֱּׁזָפַ֖תְנִי ששזפתני šeš·šĕ·zā·p̄aṯ·nî šeššĕzāp̄aṯnî sheshshezaFatni zā·p̄at·tū zafattu zāp̄attū<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/job/20-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 20:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/20.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> עַ֣יִן <b> שְׁ֭זָפַתּוּ </b> וְלֹ֣א תוֹסִ֑יף</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/20.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> The eye <span class="itali">which saw</span> him sees him no<br><a href="/kjvs/job/20.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> The eye <span class="itali">also [which] saw</span> him shall [see him] no more;<br><a href="/interlinear/job/20-9.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the eye <span class="itali">saw</span> no more<p><b><a href="/text/job/28-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 28:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/28.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עָ֑יִט וְלֹ֥א <b> שְׁ֝זָפַ֗תּוּ </b> עֵ֣ין אַיָּֽה׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/28.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> eye <span class="itali">caught sight</span> of it.<br><a href="/kjvs/job/28.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> eye <span class="itali">hath not seen:</span><br><a href="/interlinear/job/28-7.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> bird Nor <span class="itali">caught</span> eye has the falcon's<p><b><a href="/text/songs/1-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Songs 1:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/songs/1.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שֶׁאֲנִ֣י שְׁחַרְחֹ֔רֶת <b> שֶׁשֱּׁזָפַ֖תְנִי </b> הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ בְּנֵ֧י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/songs/1.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> For the sun <span class="itali">has burned</span> me.
