Context: The Hebrew word הֵן (hen) functions as a demonstrative particle, often translated as "behold" or "they" in English. It is used to draw attention to a statement, emphasizing its importance or truth. In the Hebrew Bible, "hen" is frequently found in prophetic literature, where it serves to underscore the certainty of God's declarations or the inevitability of future events. For example, in Isaiah 3:1, the word is used to introduce a divine pronouncement: "Behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support..." (BSB). The use of "hen" in such contexts serves to alert the reader or listener to the gravity and immediacy of the message. Additionally, "hen" can be used in narrative texts to highlight key developments or transitions in the storyline.
