(Heb. Chozay’, , seer; Sept. , 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 is here a corrupt rendering for , as in 2Ch 33:19; 2Ch 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>\n
HOZAI is given as a prop. name in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2Ch 33:19, where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] give the seers. AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] has Hosai. 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>\n
hoza- (, hozay, or as it stands at the close of the verse in question, 2Ch 33:19, , hozay; Septuagint , ton horonton; Vulgate (Jerome’s Latin Bible, 390-405 ad) Hozai; the King James Version the seers; the King James Version margin Hosai; the American Standard Revised Version Hozia, the American Revised Version margin the seers. Septuagint not improbably reads , ha-hozm, as in 2Ch 33:18; an easy error, since there we find , we-dhibhere ha-hozm, the words of the seers, and here , dibhere hozay, the words of Hozai. Kittel, following Budde, conjectures as the original reading , hozayw, his (Manasseh’s) seers): A historiographer of Manasseh, king of Judah. Thought by many of the Jews, incorrectly, to be the prophet Isaiah, who, as we learn from 2Ch 26:22, was historiographer of a preceding king, Uzziah. This History of Hozai has not come down to us. The prayer of Manasseh, mentioned in 2Ch 33:12 f, 2Ch 33:18 f and included in this history, suggested the apocryphal book, The Prayer of Manasses, written, probably, in the 1st century bc.
