Language

cha.zut denotes a vision or visible presentation, with one construct use occurring in a covenant-like relation.

The attested uses chiefly concern visual or revelatory presentation: Daniel describes conspicuous horns, while Isaiah names a severe vision and compares “the vision of all” to a sealed scroll. In Isaiah 28:18, a construct form occurs in a clause parallel to a covenant and is presented by the APB as an “agreement with Sheol,” though the translation does not isolate the term.

Senses in use

  1. Visible or communicated vision · dominant

    In Daniel 8:5 and Daniel 8:8, the absolute noun occurs in descriptions of the goat’s horns, which the APB renders as a “conspicuous horn” and then as horns arising in its place. In Isaiah 21:2 the APB renders a “severe vision” that has been told, while Isaiah 29:11 uses the construct form in “the vision of all,” compared with the words of a sealed scroll.

  2. Construct expression beside covenant language · rare

    In Isaiah 28:18, the construct noun stands in a clause about a covenant with death and a relation with Sheol; the APB renders the latter as an “agreement with Sheol.” The term’s precise contribution within that parallel expression remains uncertain.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the occurrences through “conspicuous horn,” “severe vision,” “the vision of all,” and “agreement with Sheol.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions of the term.
