Behold: 991. Beholdest: Beholding: 991. Greek is, blepo. Feminine, to use the eyes, to see, to look, transitive verb, & intransitive verb.
a. To see, To be able to see, as in to have the faculty of sight, and spoken of the blind, to recover sight, intransitive verb, Matthew 12:22, “insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.” Acts 9:9, “And he was three days without sight,” Revelation 3:18, “and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” collectively with verse 17. Revelation 9:20. Septuagint and Hebrew, 1 Samuel 3:2. Psalms 69:23. Hebrew, Daniel 5:23. Hebrew, Exodus 4:11, 23:9.
So, “To see,” a substantive noun, sight, as in the faculty of seeing, Luke 7:21, “and unto many that were blind he gave sight.” Trope, John 9:39, “For judgement I am come into this world that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind,” with verse 41. So, by Hebraism, with a participle of the same verb by way of emphasis, seeing ye shall see, as in ye shall indeed see, Matthew 13:14. Mark 4:12. Acts 28:26. Compare Isaiah 6:9, where Septuagint for Hebrew, “See ye indeed,” or keep on seeing, of which Hebrew idiom this is an imitation.
b. In the sense of to perceive with the eyes, to discern, to descry, transitive verb, Matthew 7:3, “Why beholdest = (lookest) thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye?” Matthew 11:4, 14:30, 24:2.

John 5:19. 2 Corinthians 12:6. Intransitive verb or absolute, Matthew 6:4-6-18. By implication, to have before the eyes, spoken of what is present, Romans 8:24, “but hope that is seen is not hope:” what one has before his eyes, as in present, how can he yet hope for it? Verse 25, “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
Hence participle, “Seen,” as present. Romans 8:24, as in hope which is present can no longer be hope. So things seen, as in present things; and things not seen, as in future things, 2 Corinthians 4:18. Hebrews 11:1-3-7. Spoken of a vision, to see in vision, Revelation 1:11, “What thou seest.” Also, Revelation 6:1-3-5-7, “I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.” In K.J.V., where others read, “Come.” Septuagint, “seer,” for Hebrew, 1 Samuel 9:9.
c. Metaphor, to perceive, with the mind, to be aware of, to observe; Romans 7:23, “I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind,” Hebrews 10:25. For the participle, instead of the subjunctive, see above in b. Septuagint and Hebrew, “Ye see,” Nehemiah 2:17. So, sequel follows “For,” 2 Corinthians 7:8, “for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry,” Hebrews 3:19. James 2:22.
d-1. To look, as in to look at or upon, to direct the eyes upon, to behold, transitive verb, and intransitive verb.

Matthew 18:10,”Do always behold,” their angels behold continually the face of my Father, as in accordance with the customs of oriental monarchs, they have constant access to him, are admitted to his privacy as his friends.
So Hebrew, “Which saw,” Esther 1:14. 2 Kings 25:19. Jeremiah 52:25, “He took also out of the city.” Sequel follows common form accusative, to look upon, to behold; Acts 3:4, “Look on us.” John 13:22. Luke 9:62, to look back. Septuagint. for Hebrew, “Look not behind,” Genesis 19:17.

So, 2 Corinthians 10:7, “Ye look an things after the outward appearance?” Sequel follows how, etc. Mark 4:24. Luke 8:18, “Take heed.” 1 Corinthians 3:10. Ephesians 5:15, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools,” Sequel follows “That,” 1 Corinthians 16:10. Colossians 4:17. 2 John 8. So Take heed lest, sequel follows aoris, subjunctive, Matthew 24:4. Luke 21:8. Acts 13:40. Galatians 5:15. 1 Corinthians 10:12. 1 Corinthians 8:9. Sequel follows, future, indicative, Colossians 2:8.
