It is used in the context of God as the one who sees, highlighting His omniscience and intimate awareness of His creation. This term underscores the belief that God is not distant but is actively observing and involved in the lives of His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was not merely a physical act but also carried connotations of understanding and insight. The ability to see was often linked with wisdom and discernment. In a biblical context, God's ability to see is a reassurance of His providence and care. The term "roi" is famously used in Genesis 16:13, where Hagar names God "El Roi," meaning "the God who sees me," after He appears to her in the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7200.htm">raah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>looking, seeing, sight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appearance (1), seeing (1), seen (1), sees (1), sight (1), spectacle (1), who (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">רֳאִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>looking, seeing, sight</b></font>;
