Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew pronouns, the Hebrew equivalent for demonstrative pronouns like "these" would be זֶה (zeh) for singular masculine or אֵלֶּה (elleh) for plural.

Usage: The Greek word "τούτους" (toutous) is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to specific people or things that are near in context or thought. It is the accusative plural masculine form, often used to point out or specify a group of individuals or objects in a narrative or discourse.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, demonstrative pronouns like "τούτους" were used to provide clarity and emphasis in communication.
