אֱנָשׁ (ʾĕnāš) is an Aramaic noun meaning man. It appears 27 times in 2 books of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H606).
Root family 2591: אֲנָשׁ ʾănāš — man, mankind. Used like the Hebrew ʾĕnôš (no. 136a, q.v.), but also serves for Hebrew ʾîš and ʾādām. Used with bar “son.” The phrase “son of man” occurs only in Dan 7:13. The corresponding Hebrew phrase is used frequently in Ezk to mean “a person.” In Dan 7:13, it refers to a heavenly person (perhaps in studied contrast to the preceding beast figures), coming before the Ancient of Days in the judgment scene. It is this verse that Jesus applied to himself in Mt. 26:64 et al., thus filling his often used self-designation “Son of Man” with the highest significance (see bar)
