It is employed in various contexts to indicate a group of people, including the speaker, who are involved in an action or state of being. Context: נַחְנוּ (nachnu) is a pronoun used in the Hebrew Bible to express the collective identity or action of a group that includes the speaker. It is a straightforward term that appears in various narrative and poetic contexts, often emphasizing unity or collective responsibility. For example, in Genesis 42:11, the sons of Jacob use נַחְנוּ to assert their honesty: "We are all sons of one man. We are honest men; your servants are not spies." This usage underscores their collective identity and shared purpose. Similarly, in Exodus 16:7, the Israelites use נַחְנוּ to express their collective experience of God's provision: "And in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?" Here, נַחְנוּ is used to reflect the communal aspect of their relationship with God and their shared experiences in the wilderness.
