Usage: The term מַעֲנֶה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a verbal response or answer, often in the context of a conversation or dialogue. It can refer to both a direct reply to a question and a more general response to a situation or statement. Context: • The Hebrew word מַעֲנֶה appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the importance of communication and the power of words.
