Hinneh
Interjection
Behold! Look! See!

Definition

Hinneh is a demonstrative particle meaning behold, look, or see. It appears over 1,000 times. It draws the reader into a vivid, present-tense experience of what is being described — an attention-grabber of the highest order.

Usage & Theological Significance

Hinneh frequently introduces divine revelation and pivotal moments. 'Behold, a virgin shall conceive' (Isaiah 7:14), 'Behold, I am doing a new thing' (Isaiah 43:19). It creates theological immediacy — God's acts are not distant but present, urgent, demanding attention.
