<p> <strong> HOZAI </strong> is given as a prop. name in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2 Chronicles 33:19 , where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] give ‘the seers.’ AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] has <strong> Hosai </strong> . 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.’ </p>

<p> (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 2 Chronicles 33:19; 2 Chronicles 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]]). </p>
