A word of joyful acclamation in Hebrew, signifying save now. The people cried Hosanna as Jesus entered in triumph into Jerusalem; that is, they thus invoked the blessings of heaven on him as the Messiah, Matthew 21:9 . This was also a customary acclamation at the joyful feast of tabernacles, in which the Jews repeated Psalm 118:25,26 .
