(פַּקוּדָה, ἐπισκοπή ), in Scripture language, is sometimes taken for a visit of mercy from God (Genesis 1:24; Exodus 13:19; Luke 1:66, etc.), but oftener for a visit of rigor and vengeance. Day of visitation, year of visitation, or time of visitation, generally signifies the time of affliction and vengeance; or of close inspection (Exodus 22:14; Isaiah 23:17; 1 Peter 2:12, etc.).
