Introduction:
The term "Ho" appears in the Bible as an interjection, often used to call attention or express a sense of urgency. It is a word that can be found in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, serving as a summons or an invitation from God to His people. This entry explores the usage and significance of "Ho" within the biblical context.

Biblical Occurrences:
The word "Ho" is notably found in the book of Isaiah, where it is used to draw attention to important messages from God. One of the most prominent instances is in Isaiah 55:1, where the prophet extends an invitation to the people:

"Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost." (Isaiah 55:1)

In this passage, "Ho" serves as a call to those who are spiritually thirsty, inviting them to partake in the abundant and free provision of God. It emphasizes the grace and generosity of God, who offers sustenance and satisfaction without cost.

Theological Significance:
The use of "Ho" in Isaiah 55:1 highlights several key theological themes:

1. Divine Invitation: The interjection "Ho" underscores the urgency and importance of responding to God's call. It is an open invitation to all who recognize their need for spiritual nourishment and fulfillment.

2. Grace and Provision: The passage emphasizes the concept of grace, as God offers His blessings freely, without requiring payment. This reflects the New Testament understanding of salvation as a gift from God, not earned by human effort (Ephesians 2:8-9).

3. Spiritual Thirst: The imagery of thirst and the invitation to come to the waters symbolize the deep spiritual needs of humanity. Just as physical thirst requires water, spiritual thirst can only be quenched by a relationship with God.

4. Universal Call: The invitation is extended to "everyone who thirsts," indicating the universal nature of God's offer. It is not limited by ethnicity, social status, or wealth, but is available to all who seek Him.

Related Concepts:
The concept of spiritual thirst and God's provision is echoed throughout Scripture. In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of Himself as the source of living water, offering eternal satisfaction to those who believe in Him:

"Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life." (John 4:14)

This connection between the Old and New Testaments highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan and His desire to meet the deepest needs of His people.

Conclusion:
While the word "Ho" may seem simple, its use in Scripture carries profound theological implications. It serves as a powerful reminder of God's gracious invitation to all people to come and receive the life-giving sustenance that only He can provide.1. (pron.) Who.
