Ephorao describes directing attention toward someone or something, whether threats brought before the Lord or a person's disgrace removed.

The attested use describes directed attention toward a matter or person: in Acts 4:29 threats are brought before the Lord, and in Luke 1:25 the Lord's attention is connected with taking away a woman's disgrace.

   In Acts 4:29, the second-person aorist active form occurs in a request to the Lord concerning “their threats”; the APB renders the clause “look upon their threats.” In Luke 1:25, the third-person aorist active indicative form refers to what the Lord did for the speaker, and the APB renders “he looked upon me” in connection with taking away her disgrace.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “look upon” in both verses, once for threats and once for the speaker. This repeated wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than fixing a narrower English equivalent.
