Buttmann, 287 (247); (Compare: ἀφοράω, καθοράω, πρωράω.) [SYNONYMS: ὁρろーᾶνにゅー, βλέπειν, both denote the physical act: ὁρろーᾶνにゅー in general, βλέπειν the single look; ὁρろーᾶνにゅー gives prominence to the discerning mind, βλέπειν to the particular mood or point. When the physical side recedes, ὁρろーᾶνにゅー denotes perception in general (as resulting principally from vision), the prominence in the word of the mental element being indicated by the construction of the accusative with an infinitive (in contrast with that of the participle required with βλέπειν), and by the absolute ὁρろーᾷς; βλέπειν on the other hand, when its physical side recedes, gets a purely outward sense, look (i. e. open, incline) toward, Latinspectare,vergere. Schmidt, chapter 11. Cf. θεωρέω, σκοπέω, εいぷしろんἰδでるたῶ, I. at the end]

behold, perceive, see

Properly, to stare at (compare optanomai), i.e. (by implication) to discern clearly (physically or mentally); by extension, to attend to; by Hebraism, to experience; passively, to appear -- behold, perceive, see, take heed.
