Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek demonstrative pronoun οὗτος (houtos), meaning "this" or "these."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew pronouns due to differences in language structure, the Hebrew equivalent for demonstrative pronouns like "these" would be זֶה (zeh) for masculine and זֹאת (zot) for feminine, with plural forms such as אֵלֶּה (elleh) for both genders. These Hebrew forms serve a similar function in pointing to specific entities within the text.

Usage: These forms are used in the New Testament to refer to groups of women, feminine nouns, or abstract concepts that are feminine in gender. The choice between dative and accusative depends on the grammatical function within the sentence—dative for indirect objects or objects of prepositions, and accusative for direct objects.

Context: The Greek demonstrative pronoun ταύταις / ταύτας appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, serving to specify or emphasize particular groups or items. In the Berean Standard Bible, these forms are translated as "these" when referring to feminine nouns.

For example, in Luke 8:3, the text refers to women who supported Jesus and His disciples: "and many others who were contributing to their support out of their own means." Here, the use of the feminine form highlights the specific group of women involved in this act of service.

In Acts 21:9, the daughters of Philip are mentioned: "He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied." The use of ταύταις in the context underscores the specific group of daughters who possessed the gift of prophecy.

These forms are essential for understanding the nuances of gender and specificity in Greek, as they help to clarify the antecedents and ensure accurate comprehension of the text. The use of demonstrative pronouns like ταύταις / ταύτας is crucial for maintaining the coherence and flow of narrative and didactic passages.
