It is often found in prayers or supplications, conveying a sense of urgency or deep emotion. The term is used to appeal to God or others for attention, help, or mercy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, language was deeply intertwined with one's relationship with God and others. The use of "annah" reflects a cultural emphasis on humility and dependence on divine intervention. It is a linguistic expression of the human condition, acknowledging one's limitations and the need for God's grace and assistance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ah, now!
