Usage: The Hebrew verb "antah" primarily means to answer or respond. It is used in contexts where a reply or a response is given, often in a dialogue or conversation. The term can imply a verbal answer to a question or a response to a situation or event.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, communication and dialogue were essential aspects of daily life, whether in familial settings, legal matters, or religious practices.

In the context of the Hebrew Bible, responses could also carry significant weight, influencing decisions, relationships, and even divine interactions.
