Hosanna. [Hosan'na]


This word, which is the same in the Greek, is considered to be a compound of two Hebrew words, and signifies 'save now,' as in Ps. 118: 25. In the N.T. the sense appears to be 'bestow blessing.' "Bestow blessing on the Son of David: bestow blessing [O thou who art] in the highest." Matt. 21: 9; Mark 11: 9, 10; John 12: 13.
