Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1565: ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) • This Greek pronoun is used in the New Testament to mean "that one" or "those," functioning similarly to the Aramaic אִנּוּן in its role as a third-person pronoun. It is used to refer to people or things previously mentioned or understood from the context.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Aramaic pronoun אִנּוּן, its usage in the biblical text, and its linguistic connections to both Hebrew and Greek counterparts.

Usage: This pronoun is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote a third-person plural subject.

Context: • The term אִנּוּן (innun) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, which include parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. These sections are written in Aramaic due to the historical context in which the Jewish people were under the influence of Aramaic-speaking empires, such as Babylon and Persia.
• In the book of Daniel, אִנּוּן is used to refer to groups of people, often in narratives involving the Babylonian court or prophetic visions. For example, it is used to describe the actions or characteristics of groups such as the wise men of Babylon or the people of God.
• In Ezra, the term is used in the context of official correspondence and decrees, reflecting the administrative language of the Persian Empire.
• The use of אִנּוּן highlights the linguistic and cultural interactions between the Jewish people and the surrounding empires during the exilic and post-exilic periods.
