* the seer.
The word {roaih} literally signifies one who sees;
particularly preternatural sights. A seer and a prophet were
the same in most cases; only with this difference, the seer
was always a prophet, but the prophet was not always a seer.
A seer seems to imply one who frequently met with and saw some
symbolical representation of God. All prophets, true or
false, profess to see God, (see Nu 24:4, 16. Jer 14:4;) and
diviners, in their enthusiastic flights, boasted that they had
those things exhibited to their sight which should come to
pass.
* and will tell.
Joh 4:29 1Co 14:25
