It is a variant of "anachnu" and is used in various contexts to indicate a collective group that includes the speaker. This pronoun is often used in narrative and dialogue to express collective action, identity, or responsibility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the use of pronouns like "nachnu" reflects the communal and collective nature of society. The Hebrew language often emphasizes community and group identity, which is evident in the frequent use of first-person plural pronouns. This reflects the cultural importance of family, tribe, and nation in the Hebrew Bible.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/587.htm">anachnu</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>we<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ourselves (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">נַ֫חְנוּ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">נָחְ֑נוּ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>pronoun 1 plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>we</b></font> (abbreviated from <font class="hebrew2">אֲנַחְנוּ</font>; compare the forms <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005909.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb005910.gif"> <font class="hebrew2">נַחְנָא</font>, just cited; also Assyrian <i><em>nîni</em></i>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/42-11.htm">Genesis 42:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/16-7.htm">Exodus 16:7,8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/32-32.htm">Numbers 32:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/3-42.htm">Lamentations 3:42</a>.
