hineni הִנֵּנִי hineni

'Here I am' — the word of total availability, sounded three times in the Aqedah: to God (22:1), to Isaac (22:7), and to the angel at the knife (22:11). Not a report of location but of readiness — the same answer Moses gives at the bush and Isaiah before the throne ('here I am, send me'). KJV 'Here am I.' → first discussed at Gen 22:1
