Usage: This term is used in the context of causing someone to be in a state of humility or affliction. It often conveys the idea of being brought low or experiencing hardship.

Context: The Aramaic verb עֲנָה (anah) is primarily used to describe the act of humbling or afflicting someone. It is a term that appears in the context of expressing a state of being brought low, either physically, emotionally, or spiritually. This word is often associated with the experience of suffering or being subjected to hardship, which can lead to a state of humility or submission. In the biblical narrative, such experiences are sometimes seen as a means of divine discipline or a way to bring about repentance and spiritual growth.

The concept of being "depressed" or "humbled" is not merely about physical affliction but also encompasses a broader spiritual and emotional dimension. It reflects the biblical theme that through trials and tribulations, individuals may be drawn closer to God, recognizing their dependence on Him and the need for His guidance and support.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of עֲנָה (anah) can be seen in contexts where individuals or groups are subjected to trials that test their faith and character. These experiences are often portrayed as opportunities for growth and transformation, aligning with the biblical principle that God can use difficult circumstances to refine and strengthen His people.
