Yitzhak,

If ANI can mean "It is I," perhaps that is what it means in Isaiah 47:8 and
10, especially since it is translated as EGW EIMI in the LXX (I believe)
which also means "It is I." But here it is not in response to a question,
"Is that you?," but in a setting of self exaltation. (That also got me
thinking of John 8:58).

Yigal gave you an example in Modern Hebrew.

In 1 Kings 18:8, you see an example from Biblical Hebrew: "Ani."
