Original Word: τοῖ
Part of Speech: Particle
Transliteration: toi
Pronunciation: toy
Phonetic Spelling: (toy)
Definition: The
Meaning: an enclitic particle of asseveration used as a prefix or suff. in the N.T

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek article "ὁ" (ho), which is a definite article meaning "the."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew language does not have a direct equivalent to the Greek definite article "τοῖ." However, the Hebrew definite article "ה" (ha) serves a similar function in specifying nouns.

Usage: In the Greek language, "τοῖ" is a form of the definite article "the," used to specify a particular noun. It is a dative plural masculine form, often used to indicate the indirect object of a verb or to denote possession or association. In the context of the New Testament, it helps to clarify and specify the subject or object being discussed.

Cultural and Historical Background: The use of definite articles in Greek is more complex than in English. In Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, articles like "τοῖ" are essential for understanding the nuances of the text. They can indicate case, number, and gender, providing clarity and specificity. The use of articles was a common feature in ancient Greek literature and was crucial for the precise communication of ideas.
