a. pointing to persons or things, Gen 12:19 and now אִשְׁתְּךָ הִנֵּה behold thy wife ! Gen 18:9 בָאֹהֶל הִנֵּה behold (she is) in the tent (the suffix, when the noun to which הנה refers has immediately preceded, being not unfrequently omitted, Gen 16:14: compare Dr§ 135. 6, 2), Gen 30:3; Gen 31:51 (twice in verse); Exo 24:8 etc. With suffix of 1 person, especially in response to a call, indicating the readiness of the person addressed to listen or obey, Here I am ! (literally Behold me !) Gen 22:1, Gen 22:7, Gen 22:11; Gen 27:1, Gen 27:18; Gen 31:11; Gen 37:13; Gen 46:2; Exo 3:4; 1Sa 3:4-5, 1Sa 3:6, 1Sa 3:8, 1Sa 3:16; 1Sa 22:12; 2Sa 1:7; Isa 6:8, compare 1Sa 12:3 בִי עֲנוּ הִנְנִי here I am, answer against me, 1Sa 14:43 (compare Drp. 292), 2Sa 15:26 (in resignation: compare Gen 44:16; Gen 50:18; Jos 9:25; Ezr 9:15): of God Isa 52:6; Isa 58:9; Isa 65:1 (twice in verse) (repeated for emphasis).

b. introducing clauses involving predication: (a) with reference to the past or present, it points Generally to some truth either newly asserted, or newly recognized, Gen 1:29 behold ! I have given to you all herbs etc. Gen 17:20; Gen 27:6; 1Sa 14:33 etc.; often one upon which some proposal or suggestion is to be founded, Exo 1:9 (compare הן Gen 11:6) 1Sa 20:2, 1Sa 20:5; 2Ki 5:20. When the proposal is to be of the nature of an entreaty or request, הִנֵּהנָֿא is often used, instead of the simple הִנֵּה Gen 12:11; Gen 16:2; Gen 18:7; 1Ki 20:31; 1Ki 22:13 and elsewhere (see נָא). (b) with reference to the future. Here it serves to introduce a solemn or important declaration Exo 32:34; Exo 34:10; Isa 7:14; and is used especially with the participle (the futuram instans [immanent future], Dr§ 135. 3) in predictions or threats, Gen 20:3 מֵת הִנְּךָ (literally) behold thee (accusative) about to die, thou art about to die, Exo 4:23; Exo 7:17; Exo 9:3; Deu 31:17; 1Sa 3:11; 1Ki 20:36; 1Ki 22:25; Isa 3:1; Isa 10:33; Isa 17:1; Isa 19:1; Isa 22:17; Isa 24:1 + often; in the phrase באים ימים הנה 1Sa 2:31; 2Ki 20:17 = Isa 39:6; Amo 4:2; Amo 8:11; Amo 9:13 + Jeremiah 15 t.; very often with the suffix of 1person singular, as מֵבִיא הִנְנִי Behold, I bring (literally behold me bringing, or about to bring) . . . Gen 6:17; Exo 10:4 & often, especially in Jeremiah; Gen 9:9; Exo 8:17; Exo 9:18; Exo 34:11; 2Ki 22:20; Isa 13:17; Isa 29:14; Isa 43:19; Jer 8:17; Jer 11:22 (פֹקֵד הִנְנִי; so Jer 23:2 +) Jer 16:16; Jer 20:4, etc.; anomalously, with change of person, Isa 28:16 יִסַּד הִנְנִי (according to points) behold me, one who has founded, Isa 29:14 יוֺסִף הִנְנִי behold me, one who will add (so Isa 38:5); but it is dubious whether the participle יוֺסֵף יֹסֵד, should not be read.
c. ֗֗֗ וְהִנֵּה very frequently in historical style, especially (but not exclusively) after verbs of seeing or discovering, making the narrative graphic and vivid, and enabling the reader to enter into the surprise or satisfaction of the speaker or actor concerned: Gen 1:31 and behold, it was very good, Gen 6:12; Gen 8:13; Gen 15:12; Gen 18:2; Gen 37:29; Exo 2:6; Deu 9:13 etc.: in the description of a dream Gen 37:7, Gen 37:9; Gen 40:9, Gen 40:16; Gen 41:1-2, Gen 41:3; Isa 29:8, or of a vision Amo 7:1, Amo 7:4; Amo 8:1 etc. With a participle (the context fixing the sense to the past), Gen 24:30; Gen 37:15 (both without suffix); Jdg 9:43; Jdg 11:34; 1Ki 19:5, 1Ki 19:11 +.
d. like II. הֵן (b), nearly = if (rare): Lev 13:5-6, Lev 13:7, Lev 13:8 (& elsewhere in this and the next chapter) וְהִנֵּה and behold = and if, Deu 13:15; and Deu 17:4 אֱמֶת וְהִנֵּה and behold it is true = and if it be true, Deu 19:18; 1Sa 20:12; compare 1Sa 9:7; 2Sa 18:11; Hos 9:6.
