Vision
Machazeh
The first mention ois in Genesis 15, "the LORD came unto Abram in a vision.[1]"> The term vision seen in the scripture as בַּֽמַּחֲזֶ֖ה bammaḥăzeh or BeitMemChetZayinHey only appears in this verse. The root word being translated vision is MemChetZayinHey[1] from ChetZayinHey[2] which has been translated see, behold, and prophesy.
This vision of Abram associated with the wisdom inludes the instruction to Fear not. Fear prevents personal revelation.
It also includes Zayin
- זָ ז Zayin The "Crowned" head. Seen with the contradictory meaning of "Service with Valor", but also "Sustenance with Nourishment". Associated with "cut bread" and also "war and provision", meaning literally "sword or weapon" and "crown or ornament". [To Cut or cut off, manacle] (value 7)
Marah
But there is another Hebrew word for vision which is האָרְמַ marah[3] said to be from the noun האֶרְמַ mareh[4] from האָרָ ra’ah [5] again is said to mean see. The term marah[3] is seen in, Genesis 46:2-5, “2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night(הַלַּ֔יְלָה hallaylāh)[6], and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation: 4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes. 5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.”

Usage: The Hebrew word "layil" primarily refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, commonly known as "night." It is used in the Bible to denote both the literal time of night and metaphorically to represent times of trouble, ignorance, or spiritual darkness. The term is often contrasted with "day" (יוֹם, yom) to illustrate the cycle of time and the duality of light and darkness.
