Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G2400, ἰδού (idou), which is often used as an interjection meaning "behold" or "see." While not a direct translation, both terms serve to draw attention to the speaker's words, whether in the form of a plea (אֲנָא) or an imperative to observe (ἰδού).

Usage: The word אֲנָא is used in the context of supplication or entreaty, typically found in poetic or prayerful passages within the Hebrew Bible.

Context: אֲנָא (Ana) appears in the Hebrew Bible as an Aramaic term, reflecting the linguistic influences present during the periods of the Babylonian exile and subsequent return. It is primarily used in the context of prayer or earnest request, often found in poetic or liturgical settings. The term is a direct appeal to God, expressing a deep personal plea or supplication. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is translated in contexts where the speaker is making a heartfelt request to the divine, emphasizing the personal nature of the appeal. The usage of אֲנָא highlights the intimate and direct communication between the supplicant and God, underscoring the humility and earnestness of the prayer.
