Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is קָרָא (qara), which means "to call" or "to proclaim." Usage: The verb "phóneó" primarily means to call or to make a sound. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of calling out, whether vocally or metaphorically. This can include calling someone by name, making a proclamation, or even the sound made by animals. The term emphasizes the act of vocal communication or the expression of a message.
