The Hebrew "Ayekah" in the myth of Adam and Eve is often translated to "Where are you?"

In the story, God asks Eve this after the whole fruit thing.

Granted its probably a much more metaphorical use, as there is already an established narrative of an omnipotent, omnipresent, and all-knowing deity by this point.

Semantically it might count, but as far as the actual meaning of the words it was probably more of a question of concern and not of location.
