The same explanation applies to ḥazah. It denotes to view with the eye, as: “And let our eye look (ve-taḥaz) upon Zion” (Mic. 4:11); and also figuratively, to perceive mentally: “which he saw (ḥazah) concerning Judah and Jerusalem” (Isa. 1:1); “The word of the Lord came unto Abraham in a vision” (maḥazeh) (Gen. 15:1); in this sense ḥazah is used in the phrase, “Also they saw (va-yeḥezu) God” (Exod. 24:11). Note this well.
