It often implies a state of awareness or understanding, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. The root idea is related to the opening of the eyes, both physically and metaphorically, to perceive truth or reality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of sight and insight was deeply connected to wisdom and understanding. Being "open-eyed" was not just about physical sight but also about perceiving deeper truths and having discernment. This was especially important in a society where oral tradition and prophetic insight played crucial roles in guiding the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
