Horasis denotes visionary sight in prophetic scenes and visible appearance in comparisons of what is seen.

The occurrences divide evenly between visionary sight, where people see visions or a scene is seen in a vision, and visible appearance, where likeness is described by comparison.

   In Acts 2:17, the accusative plural occurs in the clause about young men seeing; the APB renders the clause “your young men shall see visions.” In Revelation 9:17, the dative singular occurs in the statement introducing how the horses and their riders were seen; the APB renders “I saw the horses in the vision.”

   Revelation 4:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “visions” and “vision” in Acts 2:17 and Revelation 9:17, and with “in appearance” in Revelation 4:3. These renderings confirm the clauses rather than assign a precise English equivalent to each form.
