Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root הֵן (hen), which is a demonstrative particle. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1782: ἐντεῦθεν (enteuthen) • meaning "from here," "hence," or "on this side." • G3568: νῦν (nun) • meaning "now," often used to denote the present time or moment. • G5602: ὧδε (hōde) • meaning "here," "in this place," or "in this case." These Greek terms share a similar function in the New Testament, providing spatial or temporal orientation within the narrative. They are used to direct the reader's attention to a specific location or time, much like הֵנָּה (henah) does in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The word is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote movement or direction towards a specific location. It is often translated as "here," "there," "hither," or "thither" in English translations. Context: The Hebrew word הֵנָּה (henah) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often used to describe the movement or direction of people or objects. It is a demonstrative adverb that provides spatial orientation, indicating where someone or something is moving towards. For example, in Genesis 15:16, it is used to describe the return of the descendants of Abraham to the land of Canaan: "In the fourth generation your descendants will return here (הֵנָּה), for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete." This usage highlights the word's function in conveying a sense of place and direction. In the narrative of the Old Testament, "henah" is frequently employed to describe the physical movement of individuals or groups, as well as metaphorical journeys or transitions. It serves as a linguistic tool to guide the reader's understanding of the spatial dynamics within the text. The word's usage is not limited to physical movement but can also imply a figurative or spiritual journey, as seen in various prophetic and poetic passages.
