Strong's Lexicon hinneh: Behold, lo, see, here Original Word: הִנֵּה Part of Speech: demonstrative particle Transliteration: hinneh Pronunciation: hin-nay Phonetic Spelling: (hin-nay') Definition: Behold, lo, see, here Meaning: lo! Word Origin: Derived from the root word נָה (nah), which is a primitive particle of incitement and entreaty. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ἰδού (idou), Strong's Greek #2400, which also means "behold" or "see." Usage: The Hebrew word "hinneh" is an interjection used to draw attention to a particular point or to emphasize the importance of what follows. It is often translated as "behold" or "lo" in English. This word serves as a narrative device to alert the reader or listener to pay special attention to a significant event, statement, or revelation. It is frequently used in prophetic literature, divine announcements, and narrative storytelling to highlight God's actions or important developments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, oral tradition was a primary means of communication, and storytelling was a vital part of preserving history and religious teachings. The use of "hinneh" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this oral tradition, as it functions to capture the audience's attention and underscore the significance of the message being conveyed. In a historical context, "hinneh" often introduces divine revelations or significant turning points in the narrative, emphasizing the immediacy and importance of God's intervention in human affairs.
