proclaim. Genesis 4:26 provides context for the way in which we are to call out to God. “ And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the Lord” (NKJV). As believers, we are meant to cry out to God—in our daily lives and in our desperate moments. Scripture also exhorts us to tell, or proclaim, the Good News to others. One Old-Testament example that employs the word qara in this way is Jonah 3:2 when the Lord commands, “ Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you” (NIV).
