It is often used to convey a strong emotional response, such as grief, astonishment, or a call for attention. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can be found in passages where the speaker is expressing a deep emotional reaction to a situation, often in the form of a lament or a cry for help.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of emotion were often conveyed through vocal exclamations. The use of interjections like "הָא" reflects the oral tradition of the Hebrew language, where spoken words carried significant weight in communication. Such expressions were integral to the communal and religious life of the Israelites, often used in public readings, prayers, and lamentations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1887.htm">he</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>lo! behold!<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>even (1), look (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">הָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>demonstrative particle</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lo! behold!</b></font> (Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">הֵא</font> (twice); Egyptian Aramaic and Têma <font class="hebrew2">הא</font> (Cooke<sup>193, 198</sup>); <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">הָא</font>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108901.gif">; Mandean <font class="hebrew2">הא</font> (Nö<sup>M 81</sup>); Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108902.gif"> in Aramaic also often prefixed to pronoun 3 person for greater definiteness, as <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">הָהוּא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108903.gif"> (for <i><em>h¹-h¥</em></i>), see Nö<sup>M 89 f.</sup> W<sup>CG 106 f.</sup>), <a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-25.htm">Daniel 3:25</a>. <p> <font class="hebrew2">הֵא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>demonstrative particle</b></font>, prefixed idiomatically to <font class="hebrew2">כְּ</font> for greater definiteness, literally <em>behold like</em> (Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">הֵא</font>, see <font class="hebrew2">הָא</font> above), only in <font class="hebrew2">הֵאכְּֿ דִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-43.htm">Daniel 2:43</a> <font class="hebrew2">הֵאכְּֿ דִי</font> <font class="hebrew2">פַרְזְלָא לָא מִתְעָרַב</font> <em>like as</em> iron doth not mingle with clay (compare <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Onk</sup> <font class="hebrew2">הָא כְמַיָּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/49-4.htm">Genesis 49:4</a>, so <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Jon</sup> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הא כ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/5-28.htm">Isaiah 5:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/9-4.htm">Isaiah 9:4</a> + often; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Jer</sup> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הֵי כ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/26-4.htm">Genesis 26:4</a>,18,22 + often; <font class="hebrew2">הֵיח</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/2-9.htm">Psalm 2:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/5-10.htm">Psalm 5:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/5-13.htm">Psalm 5:13</a> +, also pleonastic <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הֵיח כְּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-14.htm">Psalm 22:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-15.htm">Psalm 22:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/22-17.htm">Psalm 22:17</a> #NAME?<p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">הֵיח</font> <em>as</em> (Lzb<sup>259</sup>), as <font class="hebrew2">היך בנמוסא</font> <em>as</em> (is) in the law (Cooke<sup>321</sup>; so <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Jer</sup> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/2-9.htm">Psalm 2:9</a>, etc.), <font class="hebrew2">הֵיח דִּי</font> conjecture (like Daniel <font class="hebrew2">הֵא כְּ דִי</font>: = Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">כַּאֲשֶׁר</font>), as <font class="hebrew2">היך די גבא</font> <em>like as</em> he levied, Cooke<sup>Tariff ii. b 12. 18, c 14. 17. 21. 26</sup> [<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Onk Jon</sup> for <font class="hebrew2">כַּאֲשֶׁר</font> have <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כְּמָא דְ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font><sup>Jer</sup> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הֵיכְמָא דְ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font>. <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108904.gif">].
