It conveys a sense of lamentation, distress, or longing. In the Hebrew Bible, it is often associated with moments of intense emotional or spiritual turmoil, reflecting the human condition in the face of suffering or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of emotion such as sighing or groaning were not merely personal but often communal, reflecting the collective experience of the people. These expressions were seen as a natural response to the hardships of life, including oppression, exile, and the consequences of sin. They were also a form of communication with God, a way to express dependence on divine intervention and mercy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/587.htm">anachnu</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>we. <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">אֲנַ֫חְנָא</font> (Ezra 4:16 <font class="hebrew2">אֲנַ֫חְנָה</font>) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>pronoun 1 plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>we</b></font> (Egyptian Aramaic RES<sup>361</sup> S-C<sup>Pap.</sup> <font class="hebrew2">אנחנה</font>;
