שׁוּר

# H7789 שׁוּר (shur): "to see" The Hebrew verb *shur* carries the basic meaning "to see," appearing fifteen times throughout the biblical text. Like many vision-related words in ancient Hebrew, it expresses the act of perceiving with the eyes, though the lexicon data provided does not specify whether it emphasizes casual observation, intentional looking, or something more specialized. The relatively modest frequency of this term—appearing only fifteen times—suggests it may have occupied a particular niche in biblical Hebrew vocabulary rather than serving as the primary or most common word for vision. This limited usage pattern could indicate the word had specific applications or contexts where it was preferred over other sight-related verbs, though without access to the actual usage contexts from the provided data, we cannot determine what distinguished *shur* from other vision vocabulary in Hebrew. To understand the full scope of this word's meaning and theological or practical significance, one would need to examine the specific biblical passages where it appears, as the lexicon entry itself provides only the fundamental semantic range: the basic human action of seeing.
