Look!

Morphological NotesIndeclinable Hebrew particle (HTm); no gender, number, or person; functions adverbially or discourse-marking.
Rendering Rationaleהֵן is an indeclinable discourse particle used to draw attention, introduce a statement, or mark emphasis or condition. "Look!" preserves its deictic force of directing the hearer’s attention, without implying gender, number, or verbal action, since the form is an invariant particle (HTm).
