Examples

Note

Points at the case being discussed; no operation clue. Trap: «birds here and birds there» are two parts, often to add. Do not mix «here» (this place) with «hear» (listen with your ears): they sound the same. Opposite: there.

In Jewish tradition

"Here am I" (hineni) is the answer of a person who is ready to serve or to be sent. Isaiah says it when God calls, and other people in the Tanakh say it when they are called.

Interpretation. The rabbis take "Here am I" as the sign of readiness and humility, as shown by Abraham, Moses and Isaiah. Isaiah's "Here am I; send me" is held up as the model of a person who volunteers for God's mission.
