Hode identifies the location, presence, or destination indicated in the immediate scene or statement.

The adverb points to an indicated location or immediate setting: people may be present, summoned, remain, or be described in relation to that location. It also occurs in statements that contrast the setting at hand with another place or future setting, without requiring a separate lexical sense.

1. Indicating an immediate location or setting · dominant

   As an adverb, it marks the location relevant to the clause. In John 20:27 the APB renders the command to Thomas, “Put your finger here”; in Matthew 14:18 it renders the instruction, “Bring them here to me”; and in Mark 14:32 it renders the command, “Sit here while I pray.” The same location-marking use frames presence or absence in John 11:21 (“if you had been here”) and Mark 16:6 (“He is not here”), and it can set one location against another in Hebrews 7:8 (“here mortal men receive tithes, but there one is testified to be living”).

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the location with “here,” including commands, questions, presence, and absence; it also uses “there” where the clause contrasts another indicated location, as in Hebrews 7:8. These English choices confirm the clauses' locative framing rather than establish separate meanings.
