Usage: The word אָן appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often inquiring about the direction or destination of a person or event. It is used to express uncertainty or to seek clarification about a particular situation. Context: The Hebrew particle אָן is utilized in the Old Testament to pose questions about direction or time. It is often found in narratives where a character is seeking information about the whereabouts or timing of an event.

(BSB), demonstrating the word's function in everyday conversation. The particle is versatile, appearing in various books of the Bible, and is integral to understanding the narrative flow and character interactions within the text.
