The meaning of Heed in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
hed: This word, in the sense of giving careful attention ("take heed," "give heed," etc.), represents several Hebrew and Greek words; chief among them shamar, "to watch"; blepo, "to look," horao, "to see." As opposed to thoughtlessness, disregard of God's words, of the counsels of wisdom, of care for one's ways, it is constantly inculcated as a duty of supreme importance in the moral and spiritual life (Deuteronomy 4:9, Deuteronomy 4:15, Deuteronomy 4:23; Deuteronomy 27:9 the King James Version, etc.; Joshua 22:5; Joshua 23:11; Psalms 39:1; Matthew 16:6; Mark 4:24; Mark 13:33; Luke 12:15; I Corinthians 3:10; I Corinthians 8:9; I Corinthians 10:12; Colossians 4:17, etc.).
