H578 ʼânâh

אָנָה

aw-naw'

to lament

Looking for Greek G578 apoblépō? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H578. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.

ʼânâh appears twice in Scripture, in Isaiah 3:26 and Isaiah 19:8. In the Doxa app, open each of these verses, keep your notes on them, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
