It functions similarly to the English expressions "lo" or "behold," serving as a call to notice or consider something important. This particle is often found in prophetic literature and narrative texts, where it underscores the significance of divine actions or pronouncements. Its usage is primarily rhetorical, aiming to engage the audience and emphasize the gravity or immediacy of the message being conveyed. The particle is a tool for the biblical authors to ensure that the reader or listener pays close attention to the unfolding narrative or divine revelation.
