Did see During the earlier period of Israelitish history dreams and visions appear to have been common vehicles of divine revelation (Numbers 12:6); and it was during that period that the prophetic terminology originated. In the early days the prophets “did see” and “had visions,” but during the golden age of Hebrew prophecy dreams and visions became less common; the ancient terminology, however, was retained (compare Habakkuk 2:1-4; Nahum 1:1; Amos 1:1; Micah 1:1, etc.).
