Strong's Lexicon antah: To answer, respond Original Word: אַנְתָּה Part of Speech: pronoun masculine singular; feminine Transliteration: antah Pronunciation: ahn-tah Phonetic Spelling: (an-taw') Definition: thou Meaning: Thou; you (singular) Word Origin: Aramaic Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the singular "you" or "thou" is σύ (Strong's Greek 4771), which serves a similar function in the New Testament as a direct address to an individual. Usage: The term אַנְתָּה is an Aramaic pronoun used in the Hebrew Bible to address a single individual directly. It is equivalent to the English pronoun "thou" or "you" in singular form. Context: The Aramaic pronoun אַנְתָּה (antah) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in sections written in Aramaic. This pronoun is used to address a single person directly, emphasizing a personal and direct form of communication. It is found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic passages are present. In the book of Daniel, for example, the use of אַנְתָּה is evident in dialogues and proclamations, often highlighting the personal nature of the address. In Daniel 2:29 (BSB), the text states, "As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would come to pass after this, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what will happen." Here, "As for you" translates the Aramaic אַנְתָּה, directly addressing King Nebuchadnezzar. Similarly, in Ezra 5:11 (BSB), the response to an inquiry is recorded: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the house that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished." The pronoun is used in the context of a formal reply, underscoring the direct communication between the parties involved. The use of אַנְתָּה in these texts reflects the linguistic and cultural milieu of the time, where Aramaic served as a lingua franca in the Near East. Its presence in the Hebrew Bible provides insight into the historical and social interactions of the Jewish people during the periods of Babylonian and Persian influence.
