G3700

ὀπτάνομαι


optanomai (op-tan'-om-ai) v.
1. to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes)
{as at something remarkable; and thus differing from G991, which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from G1492, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision; while G2300, and still more emphatically its intensive G2334, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and G4648 a watching from a distance)}
[prolonged (middle voice) form of the primary (middle voice) optomai op'-tom-ahee which is used for it in certain tenses and both as alternate of G3708]
KJV: appear, look, see, shew self
Compare: G991, G1492, G2300, G2334, G4648
