Word Origin: A primitive particle

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of demonstrative pronouns in Hebrew, such as "זוּ," corresponds to similar functions in Greek. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in Strong's Greek entries, the Greek demonstrative pronouns "οὗτος" (houtos, Strong's Greek 3778) and "ἐκεῖνος" (ekeinos, Strong's Greek 1565) serve similar purposes in the New Testament, indicating "this" or "that" respectively. These Greek pronouns are used to specify and emphasize particular subjects or objects within the text, much like "זוּ" does in Hebrew.

Usage: The Hebrew word "זוּ" is used as a demonstrative pronoun in the Hebrew Bible, often translated as "this" or "that" in English. It is used to specify or point out a particular object, person, or concept in a sentence.

Context: The Hebrew particle "זוּ" (zu) is a demonstrative pronoun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to indicate a specific object or concept. It is a primitive particle, meaning it is not derived from any other word but stands alone in its usage. The word "זוּ" is relatively rare in the biblical text, and its occurrences are often context-dependent, providing emphasis or clarity to the subject being discussed.

In the context of biblical Hebrew, demonstrative pronouns like "זוּ" serve an important role in narrative and poetic texts, helping to draw attention to particular elements within the story or message. The usage of "זוּ" can be seen in various passages where the speaker or writer intends to highlight a specific item or idea, often in contrast to others.

For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, the word "זוּ" might be used in a passage to distinguish a particular event or object from others, emphasizing its significance or uniqueness. The precise translation and interpretation can vary depending on the surrounding text and the intended emphasis of the passage.
