Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4771 (σύ, su): The Greek equivalent of the second person singular pronoun "you" or "thou."
• G5210 (ὑμεῖς, humeis): The Greek equivalent of the second person plural pronoun "you" or "ye."

These Greek entries reflect the same function in the New Testament as אַתָּה does in the Hebrew Bible, serving as direct address pronouns in both singular and plural forms.

Usage: This pronoun is used extensively throughout the Hebrew Bible to address individuals directly, whether in conversation, command, or narrative. It is a fundamental component of Hebrew grammar, serving as the second person singular pronoun.

Context: The Hebrew pronoun אַתָּה (attah) is a key element in the Hebrew language, functioning as the second person singular pronoun. It is used to directly address an individual, often in contexts of dialogue, instruction, or divine communication. The usage of אַתָּה is prevalent in both narrative and poetic texts within the Hebrew Bible. For instance, in Genesis 3:11, God addresses Adam with אַתָּה, saying, "Who told you that you were naked?" (BSB). This pronoun is also used in expressions of covenant and command, as seen in Exodus 20:2, where God declares, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery" (BSB), emphasizing the personal relationship and direct communication between God and His people. The pronoun can also be found in prayers and psalms, highlighting a personal and intimate address to God, as in Psalm 23:4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me" (BSB). The use of אַתָּה underscores the personal nature of the relationship between the speaker and the addressee, whether human or divine.
