STRONGS H4994: Abbreviations
I. נָא particle of entreaty or exhortation I (we) pray, now (enclitic) (Syriac acn, Wcn; compare Ethiopic ነዲ፡ veni, age! Di§ 160.1 Lex675 Köii. 244); — attached:

b. in 2nd person, with אַל, in deprecation, Genesis 18:3 אל־נא תעבר מעל עבדך, Genesis 19:7; Genesis 47:29; Numbers 10:31, etc.; hence elliptical אל־נא do not, I pray, (do this,) Genesis 19:18; Genesis 33:10; Numbers 12:13 Ew Di.
c. in 3rd person, Genesis 18:4 יֻקַּח־נָא let there be brought, I pray, Genesis 26:28; Genesis 33:14; Genesis 44:18, 33, etc., 2 Samuel 14:11, 12, 17; 1 Kings 17:21; 2 Kings 2:9; Psalm 7:10; Psalm 118:2; Psalm 118:3; ironically Isaiah 19:12; Isaiah 47:13, or defiantly Jeremiah 17:15 where is the word of J.? יָבוֺא נָא; with אַל, Genesis 13:8 אַל־נָא תְהִי מְרִיבָה, Genesis 18:30 אַל־נָא יִחַר לַאדֹנָי, Genesis 37:27; Numbers 12:12.

c. אִם־נָא, especially in the phrase אם נא מצאתי חן בעיניך, used by one craving a favourable hearing Genesis 30:27; Genesis 33:10; Judges 6:17; 1 Samuel 27:5, and with נא repeated in the request itself Genesis 18:3; Genesis 47:29; Genesis 50:4; Exodus 33:13; Exodus 34:9; otherwise Genesis 24:42.
d. הִנֵּה־נָא behold, I pray, craving a favourable consideration of the fact pointed to by הִנֵּה, and of the request founded upon it (with which נא is often repeated), Genesis 12:11; Genesis 16:2; Genesis 18:27, 31; Genesis 19:2, 8, 19, 20; Genesis 27:2; Judges 13:3; Judges 19:9; 1 Samuel 9:6; 1 Samuel 16:15; 2 Samuel 13:24; 2 Kings 2:16, 19; 2 Kings 4:9 +, Job 13:18; Job 33:2; Job 40:15, 16.
