This pronoun is used similarly in the New Testament to denote collective identity or action among believers. Usage: The Hebrew word "anu" is a pronoun used to denote the first person plural, translating to "we" or "us" in English. It is used in the context of collective identity or action, often emphasizing unity or shared experience among a group. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of community and collective identity was significant.
