Strong's Lexicon ani: I, me Original Word: אֲנַי Part of Speech: pronoun singular, common Transliteration: aniy Pronunciation: ah-nee Phonetic Spelling: (an-ee') Definition: I, me Meaning: I Word Origin: A primary pronoun of the first person singular Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1473 (ἐγώ, egō): The Greek equivalent of "ani," used in the New Testament to denote the first person singular pronoun "I." Usage: The Hebrew word "ani" is a personal pronoun used to refer to oneself. It is the equivalent of the English pronoun "I" or "me." It is used extensively throughout the Hebrew Bible to denote the speaker or subject in the first person singular. This pronoun is fundamental in expressing personal identity, responsibility, and relationship with God and others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the use of personal pronouns like "ani" was crucial for establishing identity and agency. The Hebrew language, being more context-driven, often relies on pronouns to convey the subject of a verb or the possessor of an object. The use of "ani" in the Scriptures often emphasizes the personal involvement or declaration of the speaker, whether it be a human or God Himself. In a covenantal context, "ani" underscores the personal commitment and relationship between God and His people.
