SILEX Entry
Definition
Dative singular masculine or neuter form of οὗτος, denoting 'to this (person or thing)', 'in this', 'by this', or 'with this', depending on context. Functions as a demonstrative pronoun or adjective indicating nearness or particularity regarding the referent, whether a person, object, idea, circumstance, or location. In discourse, marks something as present, mentioned, or being immediately relevant.
Semantic Range
to this (person or thing), in this, by this, with this, on this basis, regarding this, in connection with this
Root / Etymology
Derived from the demonstrative stem οὗτ- (οὗτος, 'this'), with the dative singular ending -ῳ for masculine and neuter. No clear Semitic origin; it follows native Greek demonstrative forms.
Historical & Contextual Notes
τούτῳ is attested widely in both classical and Koine Greek as the dative singular masculine or neuter form of the demonstrative pronoun. Its primary use is to point to a specific, proximate, or contextually established referent, either concrete or abstract. In the Septuagint and New Testament, it often appears in expressions meaning 'by this', 'in this', or 'with this', as in documents, reasons, or circumstances. Its function, like other demonstratives, can be strengthened or nuanced by word order, proximity to the referent, or additional particles. In standard English translations, it is often rendered as 'this', 'herein', 'in this', or the corresponding dative phrase. Its precise referent and nuance must be inferred from context, and it sometimes replaces the personal pronoun where demonstrative emphasis is intended.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
dative case singular masculine or neuter of οὗτος; to (in, with or by) this (person or thing):--here(-by, -in), him, one, the same, there(-in), this.
