Strong's Lexicon denah: this, these Original Word: דְּנָה Word Origin: Aramaic origin, related to the Hebrew demonstrative pronoun זֶה (zeh) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic "denah," the Greek demonstrative pronoun "οὗτος" (houtos, Strong's Greek 3778) serves a similar function in the New Testament, meaning "this" or "these." Usage: The Aramaic word "denah" is used as a demonstrative pronoun in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. It functions similarly to the English word "this" or "these," pointing to specific objects, people, or concepts in the context of the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in the Hebrew Bible reflects the historical context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian and Persian empires. Aramaic was the lingua franca of the Near East during this period, and its presence in the biblical text highlights the influence of these empires on the Jewish community. The books of Daniel and Ezra include Aramaic sections to address a broader audience and to reflect the administrative and cultural realities of the time.
