It is used in various contexts, including responding to a question, giving a testimony, or even singing. The word can imply a verbal response or a more profound, reflective answer to a situation or divine call. It is often used in the context of communication between God and humans, as well as interpersonal communication.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, communication was a vital part of community life and religious practice. The act of answering or responding was not merely about exchanging information but was often seen as a moral and spiritual duty. In the context of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, responding to God’s call or commandments was a sign of obedience and faithfulness. The use of "anah" in legal and worship settings underscores the importance of truthful and heartfelt communication.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/589.htm">ani</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>I<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>myself (1), personally (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">אֲנָא</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-8.htm">Daniel 2:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-12.htm">Ezra 6:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-21.htm">Ezra 7:21</a> in common editions: see <font class="hebrew2">אֲנָה</font> below </p><p> <font class="hebrew2">אֲנָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>pronoun 1 singular</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>I</b></font> (= Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">אֲנִי</font>, q. v.: Zenjirli, Cilician, Egyptian Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">אנךְ</font> (Cooke<sup>182; 104; 208</sup>; S-C<sup>oft</sup>), Nabataean <font class="hebrew2">נח</font> . . .
