It conveys the idea of turning one's focus or gaze towards something or someone, often implying a sense of consideration or respect. In the context of the Bible, it can denote God's attention or favor towards individuals or situations, as well as the act of humans directing their attention towards God or His commands.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of looking or gazing was often associated with deeper meanings of respect, acknowledgment, or favor. The concept of God "looking upon" someone was significant, as it implied divine favor or blessing. Conversely, when God did not "regard" someone, it indicated disfavor or rejection. This cultural understanding underscores the importance of divine attention in the lives of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8159.htm">shaah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a brief time, moment<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>immediately (3), suddenly (1), while (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> II.
