These Greek entries serve similar functions in the New Testament, acting as demonstrative pronouns to specify and clarify subjects within the text.

Usage: The term אֵלֶּה is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote "these" or "those," functioning as a demonstrative pronoun. It is used to refer to specific people, objects, or concepts that have been previously mentioned or are understood from the context.

Context: The Aramaic word אֵלֶּה appears in the Old Testament primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This demonstrative pronoun is used to point out specific entities, often in narrative or descriptive passages. For example, in Daniel 2:40, the term is used to describe the kingdoms represented by the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream: "Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others." Here, "all the others" is a reference to the previous kingdoms symbolized by the statue's parts. The use of אֵלֶּה in such contexts helps to clarify and specify the subjects being discussed, providing a clear link between the narrative and the entities involved.
