In a purely neuter sense (of an act, event, announcement, etc.) זאת‎ is most common, as with עשׂה‎ to do this Genesis 3:14; 20:5-6, 45:19 and often, זאת שׁמעוAmos 8:4; Isaiah 47:8; 48:1, 16; 51:21 and elsewhere; Genesis 41:39; Exodus 17:14; Deuteronomy 32:6; Judges 7:14; 21:3 זֹאת לָמָההָֽ֗֗֗יְתָה‎ (compare Job 1:13; Psalm 118:23) 1 Kings 11:39; 2 Samuel 7:19; 2 Kings 3:18 +; זֹאת אֵין1 Samuel 20:2b compare Amos 2:11 rarely so with אֶתֿJoshua 22:24; Jeremiah 9:11; Psalm 92:7; as an accusative of limitation, as regards this, in this, Ezekiel 20:27; 36:37; Job 19:26 (si vera lectio), 33:12 in this thou art not just; (late) זֹאת אַחֲרֵי42:16; Ezra 9:10, ׳א כלזֿאת2 Chronicles 21:18; 35:20; pointing forward to a following clause, Genesis 42:18; 43:11; Numbers 8:24; 14:35; Isaiah 56:2; Job 10:13 etc.; Exodus 9:16; 1 Samuel 25:31; Isaiah 1:12 חֲצֵרָֽי׃ רְמֹס מִיֶּדְכֶם זאת דִקֵּשׁ מִי‎; to one introduced by כִּי2 Samuel 19:22; Psalm 102:19; 119:50; 119:56 (see also בְּזֹאת6b β): but זֶה‎ also sometimes occurs similarly Exodus 13:8; Proverbs 24:12; Job 15:17; Nehemiah 2:2; Ecclesiastes 1:17; 2:15 הבל זה גם‎ (so 2:19; 2:21; 2:23 +), 7:18 (twice in verse); of a concrete object, Exodus 30:31; 2 Kings 4:43 אִישׁ מֵאָה לִפְנֵי זֶה אֶתֵּן מָה‎: in late Hebrew, Nehemiah 13:6 בְּכָלזֶֿה‎ during all this, 2 Chronicles 32:9 זֶה אַחַר‎; pointing forwards la 2 Chron 5:17 f., to כִּיPsalm 56:10; je 22:21. (See also below, 6g.)

b. repeated זֶהזֶ֗֗֗ה‎, this . . . that, the one . . . the other or (if indefinite) another, Genesis 29:27 (זֹאת‎), Exodus 14:20 זֶה אֶל זֶה קָרַב וְלֹא‎, 1 Kings 3:23; 22:20; Isaiah 6:3; 44:5 (3 t.), Psalm 75:8 יָרִים וְזֶה יַשְׁמִּיל זֶה‎, Job 1:16-18; 21:23, 25 +.

2 In apposition to a substantive:

a. preceding it (rare) Exodus 32:1, 23 משֶׁה זֶה‎, Judges 5:5 (= Psalm 68:9) סִינַי זֶהthis Sinai, Joshua 9:12 לַחְמֵנוּ זֶהthis our bread, 1 Kings 14:14; 2 Kings 6:33; Isaiah 23:13 הָעָם זֶה‎, Psalm 34:7; 49:14; 104:25 וג גדול הים ׳זהthis sea there is great and broad, 118:20; Cant 7:8; Ezra 3:12. (compare זוּHabakkuk 1:11.)

b. following it: — (a) when the substantive is determined by a pronominal affix, Genesis 24:8 זֹאת שְׁבוּעָתִי‎, this my oath, Deuteronomy 5:16 O that זֶה לְבָבָםthis their heart (their present temper) might continue always! 21:20; Joshua 2:14, 20 זֶה דְּבָרֵנוּ‎, Judges 6:14 go זֶה בְּכֹחֲךָ‎ in this thy strength, Daniel 10:17; 2 Chronicles 24:18. (compare אֵלֶּה‎, a.) Rarely when it is undetermined, 2 Kings 1:2 זֶה חֳלִי‎ (so 8:8-9,), Psalm 80:15 (β) with the article, הַזּאֹת הַזֶּה,‎, after a substantive determined also by the article, Genesis 7:1 הַזֶּה בַּדּוֺר‎, 7:13 הַזֶּה הַיּוֺם‎, 12:7 הַזּאֹת הָאָרֶץ‎, 15:7; 17:21, 23; Deuteronomy 4:6 הזה הגדול הגוי‎, and continually. Not however after a proper name, except such as are construed with the article, as הַזֶּה הַיַּרְדֵּןGenesis 32:11; Deuteronomy 3:27; 31:2; Joshua 1:2, 11; 4:22, הַזֶּה הַלְּבָנוֺן1:4, compare Numbers 27:12 = Deuteronomy 32:49 (2 Kings 5:20 הַזֶּה‎ belongs to הָאֲרַמִּי‎): and hardly ever (2 Chronicles 1:10 after a noun with a pronominal affix (Joshua 2:17 הַזֶּה מִשְּׁבֻעָתֵךְ‎ the Gender of הזה‎ shews that the text is in error: see Dr§ 209 Obs.).

3 More oft. as predicate, as 1 Samuel 24:17 זֶה הֲקוֺלְךָ‎, 2 Kings 3:23 זֶה דָּםthis is blood, 9:37 אִיזָָֽבֶל׃ זֹאת‎, Ezekiel 5:5 etc.; הֲזֶהIsaiah 14:16, הֲזֹאת23:7; Lamentations 2:15; often at the beginning or close of enumerations (especially P), descriptions, injunctions, etc., as Genesis 5:1 ספר זהthis is the book . . ., 9:12 הַבְּרִית אוֺת זֹאת‎, 17:10; 20:13 עִמָּדִי תַּעֲשִׂי אֲשֶׁר חַסְדֵּךְ זֶה‎, Leviticus 6:2; 6:13; 6:18; 7:1, 11; Deuteronomy 6:1; 33:1; Joshua 13:2; Job 27:13; Isaiah 58:6 etc.; ֗֗֗ אשׁר הדבר זהExodus 16:16; 35:4; Joshua 5:4; Judges 20:9; 21:11; Isaiah 27:22; Jeremiah 38:21 +, compare ֗֗֗ אשׁר זהthis is what (or how) . . . Genesis 6:15; Exodus 29:38; Jeremiah 33:16; הָאוֺת לְךָ זֶהExodus 3:12; 1 Samuel 2:34 +; at the end, Leviticus 7:37; 11:46; 13:50; Numbers 5:21; 7:17, 23 etc., Joshua 19:8, 16, 23 etc., Isaiah 14:26; 16:13 (֗֗֗ אֲשֶׁר הַדָּבָר זֶה‎), 17:14; 54:17; Jeremiah 13:25; Psalm 109:20; Song of Solomon 5:16 (twice in verse); Job 5:27, in the latter case sometimes with the force of such (i.e. such as has been described), 18:21; 20:29 (compare אֵלֶּהPsalm 73:12), 24:6; Psalm 48:15 such (= such a one) is God, our God, for ever (Hi De) Zephaniah 2:15; compare Job 14:3 אַףעַֿלזֶֿה‎ upon one such as this (14:1; 14:2) dost thou open thy eyes?

4 It is attached enclitically, almost as an adverb, to certain words, especially interrogative pronouns, to impart, in a manner often not reproducible in English idiom, directness and force, bringing the question or statement made into close relation with the speaker. (Contrast from this point of view זה מי‎ and הוא מי‎: see הוא4b. Thus

a. אֵיזֶֿה15 where, then ? Job 28:12 בִּינָה מְקוֺם אֵיזֶֿה‎, 28:20; 38:19 b (see other examples below אַי1b, p. 32).

b. מִיזֶֿה‎, 1 Samuel 17:55-56, הָעָֽלֶם׃ בֶּןמִֿיזֶֿ֖ה‎ the son of whom, here, is the lad ? Jeremiah 49:19 (= 50:44) וג אֲשֶׁר רֹעֶה זֶה ׳וּמִי‎ and who (emphatic) is the shepherd that etc., Lamentations 3:37; Psalm 24:8 Who is the king of glory ? (for which in 24:10 the stronger זֶה הוּא מִי‎ is said: so Jeremiah 30:21; Esther 7:5), Esth 25:12. Elsewhere, the rend. Who is this . . . is admissible: Isaiah 63:1; Jeremiah 46:7; Job 38:2; 42:3; compare מִיזֹֿאתSong of Solomon 3:6; 6:10; 8:5.

c. מַהזֶֿהhow, now ? Genesis 27:20; Judges 18:24 אֵלַי תּאֹמְרוּ וּמַהזֶּֿה‎ and how, now, do ye say to me . . . ? 1 Kings 21:5; 2 Kings 1:5; what, now ? (τίποτε;) 1 Samuel 10:11 לְבֶןקִֿישׁ הָיָה מַהזֶּֿה‎; עַלמַֿהאזֶּהfor what ? Nehemiah 2:4: contracted into מַזֶּהExodus 4:2. (compare Aramaic מָדֵיןwhy ? used as a conjunction therefore, e.g. 2 Samuel 18:22 ᵑ6‎, PS2013: both formed similarly.)

d. מַהזּֿאֹת‎ in the phrase (עָשִׂית עֲשִׂיתֶם,‎) עָשִׂיתָ מַהזּֿאֹתGenesis 3:13; 12:18; 26:10; 29:25; 42:28; Exodus 14:11; Judges 2:2; 15:11 +. Either What, now, hast thou (have ye) done ? (Fl De) or what is this (that) thou hast (ye have) done ? (The Arabic grammarians dispute on the precise construction of the corresponding phrase in Arabic ; DeGenesis 3:13 (ed. 4), and especially FlKl Schr. i. 356 Lanep. 948.)

e. לָמָּהזֶּֿהwherefore, now ? Genesis 18:13; 25:22; 32:30; Exodus 5:22; Numbers 11:20 +?

f. זֶה הַאַתָּה2 Samuel 2:20 עשׂהאל זה האתה‎ Art thou Asahel ? 1 Kings 18:7, 17, without הֲGenesis 27:24; in an indirect question 27:21.

g. זֶה הִנֵּהbehold, here . . . 1 Kings 19:5 (in narrative), Isaiah 21:9; Song of Solomon 2:8-9,. compare Numbers 13:17 (unusual) בַּנֶּגֶבּ זֶה עֲלוּ‎ go up here in the South.

h. זֶה עַתָּה‎, 1 Kings 17:24 יָדַעְתִּי זֶה עַתָּהnow I know that . . ., 2 Kings 5:22 just now. Also

i. prefixed to expressions denoting a period of time: Genesis 27:36 he hath supplanted me פַעֲמַיִם זֶהnow two times (so 43:10), 31:38 now, already twenty years, 31:41 (֗֗֗ זֶהלִּֿי‎, 45:6; Numbers 14:22 now ten times, 22:28, 32 רְגָלִים שָׁלשׁ זֶה‎, Deuteronomy 8:2, 4; Joshua 22:3 רַבִּים יָמִים זֶה‎, 2 Samuel 14:2 +; Zechariah 7:3 שָׁנִים כַּמָּה זֶהalready how many years! compare Ruth 2:7.

5 In poetry, as a relative pronoun (rare: but see also זוּ זוֺ,‎): Psalm 74:2 the hill of Zion בּוֺ שׁכנת זהwherein thou dwellest, 78:54; 104:8 זה אלמְֿקום‎ to the place (stative construct Ges§ 130. 3) which . . . 78:26; Proverbs 23:22; Isaiah 25:9; = that which Job 15:17, those who 19:19 (so once, Exodus 13:8, even in prose). In some of the passages cited the punctuators, by coupling זה‎ with the preceding substantive, and separating it from what follows by a disj. accent (as הַרֶֿ™זה‎), appear not to have recognised its relative sense, but to have construed, 'this mountain, (which) thy right hand,' etc.

6 With prefixes (in special senses): —

a. בָּזֶה15 in this (place), here, Genesis 38:21-22, Exodus 24:14; Numbers 23:1 (twice in verse); 1 Samuel 1:26; 9:11 +; of time, then, Esther 2:13. Once בַּזֶה1 Samuel 21:10.

(γ) in spite of this, Leviticus 26:27; Psalm 27:3, for which the fuller בְּכָלזֹֿאת‎ occurs, Isaiah 5:25; 9:11; 9:16; 9:20; 10:4; Psalm 78:32; Jeremiah 3:10; Hosea 7:10. (δ) בָּזֹאתfor this cause (late style) 1 Chronicles 27:24; 2 Chronicles 19:2; in this matter20:17;

c. כָּזֶה‎ (a) Genesis 41:38 ֗֗֗ אשׁר אִישׁ כָזֶה הֲנִמְצָא‎, Isaiah 56:12; 58:5; Jeremiah 5:9 כָּזֶה אֲשֶׁר גּוֺי‎ (so 5:29; 9:8). (β) וְכָזֶה כָּזֹהthus and thus, Judges 18:4; 2 Samuel 11:25; 1 Kings 14:5.

d. כְּזֹאתthe like of this = as follows, Genesis 45:23; כָּזֹאתthe like of this = things such as these Judges 13:23 (with השׁמיע‎), 15:7; 19:30 כָּזֹאת נראתה לא‎, 1 Samuel 4:7 (compare Jeremiah 2:10; 2 Chronicles 30:26), 2 Samuel 14:13 (with חשׁב‎), Isaiah 66:8 (with שׁמע‎), Ezra 7:27; = accordingly, to that effect (with דִּבֶּר‎) 2 Chronicles 34:22; = in like manner Judges 8:8; = thus (as has been described) 1 Kings 7:37; 1 Chronicles 29:14; 2 Chronicles 31:20; 32:15: וְכָזֹאת כָּזֹאתthus and thus Joshua 7:20; 2 Samuel 17:15 (twice in verse); 2 Kings 5:4; 9:12.

e. מִזֶּהfrom here, hence Genesis 37:17; 42:15; 50:25; Exodus 11:1 (twice in verse); 13:3; Deuteronomy 9:12 + often: מִזֶּהמִ֗֗֗זֶּהon one side . . . on the other side Exodus 17:12 אחד ומזה אחד מזה‎, 25:19; 26:13; 32:15 כתובים הם ומזה מזה‎, Numbers 22:24; 1 Samuel 14:4; 1 Kings 10:19-20, Zechariah 5:3 +; לְ וּמִזֶּה מִוֶּהon one side and on the other side of . . . Exodus 38:15; Joshua 8:33; Ezekiel 45:7; 48:21.

f. זֶה עַלon this account (rare), Lamentations 5:17 (pointing forwards), Esther 6:3. So זֹאת עַלAmos 8:8; Micah 1:8; Jeremiah 2:12 (Job 17:8) Jeremiah 4:8; 4:28; Psalm 32:6; in late prose Ezra 8:23; 9:15; 10:2; Nehemiah 13:14; 2 Chronicles 16:9-10, 29:9; 32:20.

g. זֶה עִםin spite of this Nehemiah 5:18. — On זֶה אֵיwhich ? מִזֶּה אֵיwhence ? לָזֹאת אֵיhow ? see below אַי

2; and on הַלֵּזוּ הַלָּזֶה, הַלָּז,‎.

Note. — זֶה‎ in 1 Samuel 17:34 (in many editions) is a typographical error (not a Kt) of Jacob b. Chayim's Rabbinic Bible of 1525 for שׂהsheep, which has been perpetuated hence in other subsequent editions. The reading of MSS. and of the best ancient editions is שֶׂה‎ (compare de RossiVar. Lect. ii. 151).
