◄ 2584. Channah ►
Strong's Lexicon Channah: Hannah Original Word: חַנָּה Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine Transliteration: Channah Pronunciation: khan-NAH Phonetic Spelling: (khan-naw') Definition: Channah Meaning: Channah means "grace" or "favor." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G451, Ἄννα (Anna), which is the Greek form of the name Hannah. Anna is mentioned in the New Testament as a prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah when He was presented at the Temple (Luke 2:36-38). Anna's recognition of Jesus echoes the themes of devotion and divine revelation associated with her Old Testament counterpart, Hannah. Usage: Channah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a feminine personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Channah, commonly known in English as Hannah, is a significant biblical figure in the Old Testament. She is prominently featured in the First Book of Samuel. Hannah was one of the two wives of Elkanah, a man from the hill country of Ephraim. Despite her beloved status, Hannah was initially barren, which caused her great distress, especially in light of the provocations from Elkanah's other wife, Peninnah, who had children. In her deep anguish, Hannah prayed earnestly to the LORD at the tabernacle in Shiloh, vowing that if she were granted a son, she would dedicate him to the LORD's service all the days of his life. Her heartfelt prayer was observed by Eli, the priest, who initially mistook her silent prayers for drunkenness. Upon realizing her sincerity, Eli blessed her, and the LORD answered her prayer. Hannah gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel, meaning "heard of God," acknowledging that her petition had been granted. True to her vow, once Samuel was weaned, Hannah brought him to the tabernacle and dedicated him to the LORD's service under Eli's guidance. Her story is a testament to faith, perseverance in prayer, and the fulfillment of vows. Hannah's song of thanksgiving, recorded in 1 Samuel 2:1-10, is a profound expression of praise and is often compared to the Magnificat of Mary in the New Testament. Hannah's narrative highlights themes of divine grace, the power of prayer, and the importance of faithfulness to one's promises. Her story is a source of inspiration and encouragement for many, illustrating the transformative power of God's favor.
