to respond
| Root | ענה (ʿ-n-h) |
| Core Meanings | to heed, to respond, to answer, to testify, to speak up, to sing or call out |
| Semantic Range | to answer a question, reply in dialogue, testify or bear witness, call out or sing responsively, begin to speak, give an account |
| Conceptual Significance | ענה often marks relational exchange—between humans, or between humans and God—highlighting accountability and responsiveness. It underscores the biblical expectation that one hears and then answers, whether in covenant dialogue, testimony, worship, or judicial setting. |
| Morphological Notes | Qal infinitive construct of עָנָה (H6030) with prefixed preposition ל ("to"). The Qal stem conveys simple active action: to answer or respond. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form לַעֲנוֹת is a Qal infinitive construct with prefixed ל, expressing purpose or result: "to respond." "Respond" preserves the root idea of giving heed and answering, while the infinitive form accurately reflects the non-finite verbal morphology. |
