'''ἰδοὺ'''  (transliteration: '''idou''') is the second person singular [[aorist]] active imperative  of the [[Greek]] verb οἶδα ('''eido'''), meaning: ''behold, lo, see.'' It ''especially calls attention to what follows from it''.<ref>Danker, Frederick W.: ''A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature''. 3d ed.

'''ἰδοὺ'''  (transliteration: '''idou''') is the second person singular [[aorist]] active imperative  of the [[Greek]] verb οἶδα ('''eido'''), which is similar to an exclamation mark or an underline in modern English.  The reason for the emphasis -- and the precise translation of the word -- varies depending on context.  The [[King James Version]] typically translated it as "behold", but that is archaic today.  Other anachronistic translations include "lo" or "see", but that merely translates how the word calls attention to what follows from it.<ref>Danker, Frederick W.: ''A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature''. 3d ed. University of Chicago Press.</ref> A more precise translation also captures ''the intended reason'' for the emphasis.
