This Hebrew conjunction serves a similar function in providing reasons or explanations within the Old Testament narrative. Usage: This conjunction is employed in the New Testament to provide explanations or reasons for statements or actions. It is used to connect clauses, indicating the cause or reason behind a preceding statement. Context: The Greek conjunction διότι appears in the New Testament as a causal connector, providing the rationale or explanation for a preceding statement. It is a compound word, combining the preposition διὰ (dia), which implies causation or agency, with ὅτι (hoti), a conjunction that introduces a clause. This construction emphasizes the reason or cause behind an assertion or action.
