“Behold”

Alan C. Miner

The Hebrew word for "behold" is hinneh. It is used for pointing out persons, things, places and actions, and occurs over a thousand times in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. The word "behold" is used even more frequently in the Book of Mormon and can be found on almost any page. Its common use gives evidence of a literal rendering of Hebrew into English (compare Daniel 2:31; 4:13). [Zarahemla Research Foundation, Study Book of Mormon, p. 4-5]
