This role is closely associated with that of a prophet, though "seer" emphasizes the visionary aspect of receiving messages from God. Seers were often consulted for guidance and insight into God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, seers played a crucial role in spiritual and communal life. They were considered intermediaries between God and the people, providing guidance, warnings, and revelations. The role of the seer was recognized and respected, often overlapping with that of a prophet. Seers were sought after for their ability to perceive divine messages, which were sometimes delivered through visions or dreams.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">רֹאֶה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>seer</b></font>, with article <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הָר</font> (except <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/15-27.htm">2 Samuel 15:27</a>);
