Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Aramaic

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for this type of interjection is often found in words like ἰδού (Strong's Greek 2400), which is used similarly to draw attention or emphasize a statement in the New Testament.

Usage: This Aramaic interjection is used in the Biblical text to call attention to a particular statement or event, often to highlight its significance or to introduce a noteworthy point.

Context: The Aramaic word הֵא (he') is an interjection found in the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Aramaic portions of the text. It serves as an attention-getting device, similar to the English "lo" or "behold." This word is used to emphasize the importance or immediacy of the statement that follows. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is translated to convey the sense of alertness or emphasis intended by the original text. The use of הֵא is relatively rare, appearing in contexts where the speaker wishes to draw the listener's focus to a particular event or declaration, underscoring its significance within the narrative.
