Strong's Lexicon maaneh: Answer, response, reply Original Word: מַעֲנֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנָה (anah), which means "to answer" or "to respond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G611 (ἀποκρίνομαι, apokrinomai) – to answer, to reply - G627 (ἀπολογία, apologia) – a defense, a reasoned statement or argument Usage: The Hebrew word "maaneh" primarily refers to an answer or response, often in the context of a verbal reply. It can denote a formal or informal answer, depending on the context in which it is used. The term is used to describe the act of responding to a question, statement, or situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, communication and dialogue were essential aspects of daily life, whether in legal, religious, or social contexts. The ability to give a wise and appropriate answer was highly valued, as it reflected one's understanding and wisdom. The concept of "maaneh" is deeply rooted in the importance of speech and the power of words in Hebrew thought, where words could bless, curse, instruct, or deceive.
