Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew pronouns, the Hebrew word זֶה (zeh), meaning "this," serves a similar function in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The Greek word τοῦτον (touton) is a demonstrative pronoun used to specify a particular person or thing that is near in context or thought. It is often translated as "this" or "this one" in English. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to refer to a specific individual or object that has been previously mentioned or is immediately present in the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, demonstrative pronouns like τοῦτον were used to provide clarity and emphasis in communication. The Greek language, with its rich array of pronouns, allowed speakers and writers to convey precise meanings and relationships between subjects and objects. This was particularly important in the oral culture of the ancient world, where clarity in storytelling and teaching was essential.
