horama denotes a seen vision or appearance, often conveying a message or prompting a response.

The term most often names a seen experience in which a figure, scene, or spoken message is presented and then considered or acted upon; it can also denote an appearance or sight whose reality is questioned or examined.

1. A seen experience conveying a scene or message · dominant

   In Acts 10:3 the APB renders a scene in which an angel comes to Cornelius and addresses him, while Acts 16:9 presents a Macedonian man pleading for help. The term also names experiences being pondered or acted upon: Peter considers what he saw in Acts 10:17, and the response in Acts 16:10 follows from what had been seen. In Acts 18:9 the night scene includes the Lord's instruction not to fear but to speak.

2. An appearance or sight under examination · occasional

   In Acts 7:31, the accusative singular occurs as Moses approaches to examine the sight that has amazed him. In Acts 12:9, Peter thinks he is seeing such an experience rather than recognizing that the angel-led event is real; the clause explicitly contrasts his assumption with what was happening.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the term with “vision,” including scenes seen by Cornelius, Peter, Paul, and Ananias; Acts 7:31 instead renders the clause with “sight.” These English terms indicate the overall clauses rather than fixed equivalents in every occurrence.
