Hozai

VIEW:39 DATA:01-04-2020
HOZAI is given as a prop. name in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2Ch_33:19, where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] give ‘the seers.’ AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] has Hosai. If we retain the MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] , the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of RV [Note: Revised Version.] seems the only defensible one, but perhaps the original reading was ‘his seers.’

hō?zā̇-ı̄ (חוזי, ḥōzay, or as it stands at the close of the verse in question, 2Ch_33:19, חוזי, ḥōzāy; Septuagint τῶν ὁρώντων, tō̇n horō̇ntōn; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 ad) ?Hozai?; the King James Version the seers; the King James Version margin ?Hosai?; the American Standard Revised Version ?Hozia,? the American Revised Version margin ?the seers.? Septuagint not improbably reads החזים, ha-ḥōzı̄m, as in 2Ch_33:18; an easy error, since there we find ודברי החזים, we-dhibherē ha-ḥōzı̄m, ?the words of the seers,? and here דּברי חוזי, dibherē ḥōzāy, ?the words of Hozai.? Kittel, following Budde, conjectures as the original reading חוזיו, ḥōzāyw, ?his (Manasseh's) seers?): A historiographer of Manasseh, king of Judah. Thought by many of the Jews, incorrectly, to be the prophet Isaiah, who, as we learn from 2Ch_26:22, was historiographer of a preceding king, Uzziah. This ?History of Hozai? has not come down to us. The prayer of Manasseh, mentioned in 2Ch_33:12 f, 2Ch_33:18 f and included in this history, suggested the apocryphal book, ?The Prayer of Manasses,? written, probably, in the 1st century bc.

Hozai
(Heb. Chozay', חוֹזִי, seer; Sept. οἱ ὁρῶντες, Vulg. Hozai, Auth. Vers. the seers,” marg. “Hosai”), a prophet or seer, the historiographer of Manasseh, king of Judah (2 Chronicles 33, 19). B.C. p. 642. The Jews are of opinion that Hosai and Isaiah are the same person; the Sept. takes Hosai in a general sense for prophets and seers: the Syriac calls him Hanan, the Arabic Sapcha. — Calmet, s.v. Bertheau (Chronik. Einleit. p. 35) conjectures that חוזי is here a corrupt rendering for חוזים, as in 2Ch_33:19; 2Ch_33:18; but for this there is only the authority of a single Codex and the Sept. (Davidson, Revision of Heb. Text, p. 221, b). SEE CHRONICLES.
