אַנְתּוּן pronoun 2 masculine plural ye, you (Biblical Hebrew אַתֶּם), Daniel 2:8.

Word Origin: Aramaic

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic pronoun "antûn" in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific pronoun used in the context of Aramaic language sections of the Old Testament. However, the Greek pronoun "ὑμεῖς" (hymeis), Strong's Greek Number 5210, serves a similar function in the New Testament as the plural form of "you."

Usage: This Aramaic pronoun is used in the context of addressing multiple individuals, often found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: The Aramaic pronoun אַנְתּוּן (antûn) is a plural form of "you," used to address a group collectively. It appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, which include parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. These sections reflect the historical context of the Jewish exile and the influence of Aramaic as a lingua franca in the Near East during the Persian period.

In the book of Daniel, for example, the use of Aramaic, including the pronoun "antûn," highlights the interactions between Daniel and the Babylonian and Persian officials. The use of Aramaic in these passages underscores the cultural and linguistic milieu of the Jewish exiles, who were navigating life in a foreign empire.

The pronoun "antûn" is significant in understanding the communal aspects of the messages conveyed in these texts. It often appears in contexts where commands, instructions, or declarations are directed at groups, emphasizing collective responsibility or action.
