The role of a seer is closely associated with that of a prophet, though the term "seer" emphasizes the visionary aspect of receiving divine messages. The Hebrew word for seer is "ro'eh," which is often used interchangeably with "nabi," the more common term for prophet.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The concept of a seer is prevalent in the Old Testament, where seers are depicted as individuals chosen by God to convey His will and guidance to the people of Israel. One of the earliest mentions of a seer is in <a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a>, which provides a historical note: "Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he would say, 'Come, let us go to the seer,' for the prophet of today was formerly called the seer."<br><br>Samuel, one of the most prominent figures in the Old Testament, is referred to as a seer. In <a href="/1_samuel/9-19.htm">1 Samuel 9:19</a>, Samuel identifies himself to Saul, saying, "I am the seer." Samuel's role as a seer was crucial during a transitional period in Israel's history, as he anointed the first two kings of Israel, Saul and David, under God's direction.<br><br>Another notable seer is Gad, who served as a seer to King David. In <a href="/2_samuel/24-11.htm">2 Samuel 24:11</a>, Gad is referred to as "David's seer," and he played a significant role in advising the king, particularly during times of crisis.<br><br><b>Characteristics and Functions</b><br><br>Seers were known for their ability to receive visions and dreams, which were considered divine communications. These visions often contained symbolic imagery and required interpretation. Seers were tasked with delivering messages of warning, guidance, and encouragement to individuals and the nation of Israel. They also played a role in anointing leaders, as seen in the case of Samuel anointing Saul and David.<br><br>The role of a seer was not limited to foretelling future events; it also involved providing insight into God's will and purpose for His people. Seers were expected to live lives of integrity and faithfulness, as their authority and credibility depended on their relationship with God.<br><br><b>Distinction from Other Prophets</b><br><br>While all seers are prophets, not all prophets are referred to as seers. The distinction lies in the method of revelation. Seers primarily received divine messages through visions, whereas other prophets might receive God's word through different means, such as direct speech or inspiration.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>The term "seer" is not commonly used in the New Testament, as the focus shifts to the broader role of prophets within the early Christian church. However, the visionary aspect of prophecy is evident in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Revelation, where John receives apocalyptic visions.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The role of the seer in the Bible highlights the importance of divine communication and guidance in the life of God's people. Seers served as intermediaries between God and humanity, providing insight, direction, and revelation. Their contributions were vital in shaping the spiritual and political landscape of Israel and continue to be a subject of study and reflection in understanding the prophetic tradition in Scripture.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Seer</span><p>One supernaturally enlightened to see things which God only can reveal; applied to certain Hebrews prophets, <a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/29-30.htm">2 Chronicles 29:30</a> 33:18,19 <a href="/isaiah/29-10.htm">Isaiah 29:10</a> 30:10.

The "sayings of the seers" (<a href="/2_chronicles/33-18.htm">2 Chronicles 33:18</a>, 19) is rendered in the Revised Version "the history of Hozai" (marg., the seers; so the LXX.), of whom, however, nothing is known.

The former designation is from the ordinary verb "to see"; the latter is connected with the verb used of prophetic vision. It appears from <a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a> that "seer" (ro'-eh) was the older name for those who, after the rise of the more regular orders, were called "prophets." It is not just, however, to speak of the "seers" or "prophets" of Samuel's time as on the level of mere fortune-tellers. What insight or vision they possessed is traced to God's Spirit. Samuel was the ro'-eh by pr-eeminence, and the name is little used after his time. Individuals who bear the title "seer" (chozeh) are mentioned in connection with the kings and as historiographers (<a href="/2_samuel/24-11.htm">2 Samuel 24:11</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/21-9.htm">1 Chronicles 21:9</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/25-5.htm">1 Chronicles 25:5</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/29-29.htm">1 Chronicles 29:29</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/9-29.htm">2 Chronicles 9:29</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/12-15.htm">2 Chronicles 12:15</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/19-2.htm">2 Chronicles 19:2</a>, etc.), and distinction is sometimes made between "prophets" and "seers" (<a href="/2_kings/17-13.htm">2 Kings 17:13</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/29-29.htm">1 Chronicles 29:29</a>, etc.). Havernick thinks that "seer" denotes one who does not belong to the regular prophetic order (Introductions to Old Testament, 50;, English translation), but it is not easy to fix a precise distinction.<br><br>See <a href="../p/prophet.htm">PROPHET</a>; <a href="../p/prophecy.htm">PROPHECY</a>.<br><br>James Orr<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3132.htm"><span class="l">3132. manteuomai -- to divine</span></a> <br><b>...</b> in the practice.
