Heard. Literally, “answered.” ‘Anah is a common verb, translated into English in a variety of ways, but with the fundamental meaning “to answer.” On God’s part it often involves a visible answer, as in ch. 28:15, when Saul complained to the spirit brought up by the witch at Endor that God would no longer hear or answer him.
