A punctuation mark and musical notation used in Hebrew biblical texts to indicate a major pause or division in the reading.
From Hebrew 'etnah' meaning rest or pause. Used in the cantillation system for chanting Torah and other Hebrew scriptures since ancient times.
The atnah in Hebrew texts is like an ancient punctuation mark that also tells you where to breathe when chanting the Bible — it's a pause that's been there for thousands of years!
