This (feminine demonstrative pronoun); appearing in Hosea 7:16 and Psalm 132:12, an archaic form of zot
This pronoun is an archaic or variant spelling of the common demonstrative 'this' (feminine). It appears in Hosea 7:16—'this is their derision'—referring to Israel's coming fall by the sword. The form also occurs in Psalm 132:12 as a relative pronoun, 'my testimony which...' The rarity of this spelling compared to the standard form suggests either dialectal variation or archaic usage preserved in poetic contexts.

1. sense 1 — All four translations render as 'this' with variations: Spanish 'esto,' English 'this,' French 'ceci.' The grammatical function is straightforward—pointing to something previously mentioned or contextually present. In Hosea 7:16, 'this' refers to the judgment announced: falling by the sword, becoming an object of derision. The demonstrative makes the divine verdict concrete and immediate, transforming prophetic announcement into inescapable reality. 1×
