Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive pronoun of the first person singular.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1473 (ἐγώ, egō): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew אָנֹכִי, used in the New Testament to denote the first person singular pronoun "I." This term is similarly used in contexts of self-identification and emphasis, such as in John 8:58, "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am!'" Usage: The term אָנֹכִי is used extensively throughout the Hebrew Bible as a personal pronoun for the first person singular. It is often employed in contexts where the speaker is emphasizing their own identity or role, particularly in divine speech where God is the speaker. Context: The Hebrew pronoun אָנֹכִי is a significant term in the Old Testament, appearing frequently in both narrative and poetic texts. It is often used by God to assert His identity and authority, as seen in key passages such as Exodus 20:2, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." This usage underscores the personal and covenantal relationship between God and His people. In human speech, אָנֹכִי is used by individuals to express personal involvement or responsibility, as in Genesis 27:19, where Jacob says to his father Isaac, "I am Esau your firstborn." The term is integral to understanding the self-identification and agency of both divine and human speakers in the biblical text.

In some cases אני and אנכי appear capable of being used indiffer-ently; in others the choice seems to have been determined, partly by rhythmical considera-tions, partly by a growing preference for אֲנִי among later writers. Thus when appended to the verb for emphasis (whether with or without גַּם) the lighter form אֲנִי is nearly always used (
