Noun phasma (appearance, vision) in the Bible

(Translation Brenton for the Septuagint with a few modifications for a more litteral meaning)


Numbers (LXX)

16: 30But if the Lord shall shew by an appearance (phasma), and the earth shall open her mouth and swallow them up, and their houses, and their tents, and all that belongs to them, and they shall go down alive into Hades, then ye shall know that these men have provoked the Lord.

Isaiah (LXX)

28: 7For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is their vision (phasma).

Job (LXX)

20: 8Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision (phasma) of the night.

Wisdom (LXX)

17: 4For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about them, and sad visions (phasma) appeared unto them with heavy countenances.
