Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew demonstrative pronoun "zu" would be "οὗτος" (houtos) in the New Testament, which also means "this" or "that."

Usage: The Hebrew word "zu" is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to something specific, often translated as "this" or "that" in English. It is used to point out or specify a particular object, person, or concept within a sentence. In the context of Biblical Hebrew, it serves to draw attention to a specific element within the narrative or discourse.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, demonstrative pronouns like "zu" were essential for clarity in communication, especially in oral traditions where written texts were not as prevalent. The use of such pronouns helped to specify and emphasize particular aspects of a account or law, ensuring that the audience understood the focus of the message. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "zu" would have been used to highlight important theological or moral points, drawing the listener's or reader's attention to key elements of God's revelation.
