Strong's Hebrew · H579
H579 ʼânâh
אָנָה
aw-naw'
to meet
Looking for Greek G579 apóblētos? It has the same number in Strong's Greek lexicon but is a different word, not a translation of H579. Strong's numbering starts again for each language.
ʼânâh appears 4 times in Scripture, in Exodus, 2 Kings, Psalms and Proverbs. In the Doxa app, open any verse that uses it, keep your notes on it, and ask Doxa Engage how it connects to what God has said to you.
Definition
to approach; hence, to meet in various senses
In the King James Version
befall, deliver, happen, seek a quarrel.
Derivation
a primitive root (perhaps rather identical with H578 (אָנָה) through the idea of contraction in anguish);
Appears 4 times in Scripture
