Berean Strong's Lexicon tanah: To recount, rehearse, tell Original Word: תָּנָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of recounting or telling is captured in Greek by words such as "διηγέομαι" (diegéomai - G1334), which means to describe or narrate. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tanah" primarily means to recount or rehearse. It is used in the context of narrating or telling a account or event. This verb emphasizes the act of verbal communication, often with the purpose of preserving history or imparting wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, oral tradition was a key method of preserving history, laws, and religious teachings. The act of recounting stories was not only a means of entertainment but also a vital educational tool. Elders and leaders would often rehearse the deeds of God and the history of the people to ensure that future generations understood their identity and covenant relationship with God.
