| Core Meanings | to answer, respond, heed, give testimony, speak in reply |
| Semantic Range | to answer a question, reply to a call, testify in court, begin to speak, sing responsively, shout in response, bear witness |
| Conceptual Significance | ענה often marks dialogical encounter—between individuals, communities, or between humanity and יהוה. It conveys responsiveness, accountability, and covenant interaction, highlighting the relational nature of biblical faith where speech and response signify acknowledgment and engagement. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine plural from עָנָה (H6030). The Qal expresses the simple active sense: to answer or respond. |
