Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Behold"

A: It means look. It's often used in a biblical context. "behold the eye of the lord is upon them"

A: Besides A_nguyen15's answer, it can also mean that they are good-looking. I'm inclined to think that good-looking is more common than good-mannered, but the context in this passage suggests that good-mannered is more relevant.

Incidentally, this phrase is considered old-fashioned and/or somewhat formal.

A:
see

A: This means to look, see, observe. It seems to usually be used when the object or situation being observed is unique or significant in some way.

Also seems that it's not very common... somewhat older word, outdated a bit. Mostly found in writings or set phrases, sayings.

Example. "Behold! I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all people." "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." "I was just at the market like I am every week. Well, I turned a corner when, lo and behold, there in front of me was Michael Jordan."

A: Pls

A: Behold sounds very formal but can be used in sort of a humorous way. To translate it I would say 'he aquí', but I'm not sure if that's right!

Behold, the Queen of England has arrived! (serious)

Behold, the mighty Miguel is here to teach us about Spain! (probably humorous)

Another phrase:

She was a sight to behold!

This is a bit formal but much more common than the first example. Behold means 'see', and it implies something amazing or strange or very unusual.

A: Behold is an older word in the English language which isn't used much anymore. It used to be used as a way to introduce or draw attention to something remarkable that was being revealed. For example, "Behold my newest work of art!"

Now, behold is usually used ironically in a joking way. For example, if someone painted a really bad picture, they could make a joke and say, "Behold my greatest work of art!" Basically it's only used in a joking way now.

Look is used anytime you want to bring attention to something. Example: "Look at that pretty bird on the tree."

Behold one of the greatest minds of the 21st century (also sarcastic)

I don't really feel like I'd use it even in these cases though. It's more of an older style of English.
