Demonstrative pronoun indicating a specific object, person, event, or abstract concept, primarily in the feminine singular. Used for 'this one (feminine),' 'this thing,' or 'these' when referring to feminine plural objects. The term also serves adverbially or as a discourse marker to reference what follows ('thus,' 'in this manner') or to denote manner, degree, or as a relative pronoun in rare constructions. Its function extends from concrete reference (identifiable person or object) to more abstract or situational uses (such as referring to an event or category).

SIBI-P1 Translation H2063-14
and this (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + demonstrative pronoun; feminine singular; independent form of the זה demonstrative paradigm. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root זה marks demonstrative proximity—pointing out something specific as "this." The form זֹאת is the irregular feminine singular, and the prefixed וְ adds "and," so the rendering preserves both conjunction and feminine demonstrative force. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and this (feminine)
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "and this". The Hebrew demonstrative וְזֹאת is feminine singular. The standard rendering marks the feminine form; the verse context does not require a different rendering, so it should be standardized to "and this (feminine)" for consistency. |
