Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew הוּא (hû)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3778: οὗτος (houtos) – "this," "these," "he," "she," "it" Usage: The term הוּא is primarily used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It functions as a pronoun and is often used to refer to a subject previously mentioned or understood in the context. Context: The Aramaic pronoun הוּא (hû) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, when Aramaic was a common language of administration and communication in the Near East. In the biblical text, it is found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions written in Aramaic. The usage of הוּא in these texts is similar to its Hebrew counterpart, serving as a pronoun to refer to a person or thing previously mentioned or easily identified by the audience. For example, in Daniel 2:38, the text states, "You are that head of gold," where "that" is translated from הוּא, emphasizing the identity of the subject. The pronoun is versatile, functioning in various grammatical roles, including subject, object, and predicate nominative, depending on the context. Its presence in the biblical text highlights the linguistic transition and cultural interactions during the Babylonian and Persian periods.
