TDNT Reference: 5:315,706
ὀπτάνομαι optánomai, op-tan'-om-ahee; a (middle voice) prolonged form of the primary (middle voice) ὄπτομαι óptomai op'-tom-ahee; which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternate of G3708; 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):—appear, look, see, shew self.
The KJV translates Strong's G3700 in the following manner: see (37x), appear (17x), look (2x), show (one's) self (1x), being seen (1x).
to look at, behold
to allow one's self to be seen, to appear
Strong's Number G3700 matches the Greek ὀπτάνομαι (optanomai),
which occurs 58 times in 57 verses
in the TR Greek.
