Usage: The term "זוֹ" is used in the Hebrew Bible as a demonstrative pronoun, typically translated as "this" or "that" in English. It is used to point out or specify a particular object, person, or concept in the context of the narrative.

Context: The Hebrew word "זוֹ" (zō) functions as a demonstrative pronoun in Biblical Hebrew, often used to specify or highlight a particular noun. It is a versatile term that can refer to objects, people, or abstract concepts, depending on the context. In the Hebrew Bible, "זוֹ" is employed to draw attention to something specific, often in contrast to something else. It is a key component in the language's ability to convey specificity and emphasis.

For example, in the context of a narrative, "זוֹ" might be used to distinguish one item from another, as in "this is the covenant" or "that is the law." The term is integral to the Hebrew language's structure, allowing speakers and writers to clearly indicate what they are referring to, thus aiding in the clarity and precision of communication.

In the Berean Standard Bible, "זוֹ" is translated consistently to maintain the original emphasis and specificity intended in the Hebrew text. This translation choice helps English readers understand the particularity and focus that the original Hebrew conveys.
