Espy
Espy
es-p: Espy in modern English means to catch sight of, rather than to explore secretly. the Revised Version (British and American) therefore retains it in Gen 42:27, He espied his money (Hebrew , ra’ah, see), while in Jos 14:7 espy out the land (the King James Version) becomes spy out the land. the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes watch for espy in Jer 48:19, and searched out for espied in Eze 20:6, with a gain in accuracy of rendering (compare the context).
