Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic demonstrative pronounCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "this" in Greek is often represented by the demonstrative pronoun οὗτος (houtos), which corresponds to Strong's Greek Number 3778. This Greek term is used similarly in the New Testament to indicate a specific person, thing, or idea being referenced in the text. Usage: The Aramaic word דֵּן is used as a demonstrative pronoun meaning "this" in the context of the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Context: The Aramaic term דֵּן (den) appears in the context of the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It functions as a demonstrative pronoun, equivalent to the English word "this." In the book of Daniel, דֵּן is used to refer to specific visions, decrees, or events being described. For example, in Daniel 2:36, the term is used in the phrase "This is the dream," indicating the specific dream that Daniel is interpreting for King Nebuchadnezzar. Similarly, in Ezra, דֵּן is used to refer to specific letters or decrees, as seen in Ezra 5:4, where it is part of the phrase "this work," referring to the rebuilding of the temple. The use of דֵּן in these contexts highlights its role in pointing to particular subjects or objects within the narrative, providing clarity and specificity.
