+Particle Demonstrative
+======================
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+Demonstrative particles function to direct the attention of a listener or reader.
+
+Article
+-------
+
+Biblical Hebrew has only a few demonstrative particles, with the two most common ones being הִנֵּה and הֵ֣ן. The specific function
+of a demonstrative particle is to draw attention to whatever immediately follows the particle, either a single word or an entire
+phrase. Similar to the :ref:`exhortation particle<particle_exhortation>`, demonstrative particles are sometimes left untranslated.
+Demonstrative particles can stand alone or take a :ref:`pronominal suffix<suffix_pronominal>` and/or a prefixed
+:ref:`conjunction<conjunction>`.  
+
+Function
+--------
+
+Directs the attention of the listener
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When used in direct speech, the demonstrative particle functions to direct the attention of the person listening to the speech.
+This function of the demonstrative particle also serves to make a presentation of a person/thing from one person to another
+(see GEN 12:19 below).

+
+  הִנֵּה֙ אֲרֹ֣ון הַבְּרִ֔ית אֲדֹ֖ון כָּל־הָאָ֑רֶץ עֹבֵ֥ר לִפְנֵיכֶ֖ם
+     בַּיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
+  "**hinneh** 'arown habberith 'adown kol-ha'arets 'over lifnekhem
+     bayyarden"
+  "**Look** ark-of the-covenant-of lord-of all\_the-earth is-crossing
+     before-you into-the-Jordan."
+  "**Look!** The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth
+     crosses over ahead of you into the Jordan."
+
+.. csv-table:: Example: ISA 65:1
+
+  אָמַ֨רְתִּי֙ **הִנֵּ֣נִי הִנֵּ֔נִי** אֶל־גֹּ֖וי לֹֽא־קֹרָ֥א

+  'amartiy **hinneni hinneni** 'el-gowy lo-qora vishmi
+  I-said **look-me look-me** to\_nation not\_called by-my-name.
+  I said ""**Here I am! Here I am!**"" to a nation that did not call on my name.

+  וְעַתָּ֕ה הִנֵּ֥ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֖ קַ֥ח וָלֵֽךְ׃
+  insert transliteration
+  and-now **behold** your-wife take and-go
+  Now therefore **here is** your wife. Take her, and go your way.
+
+Directs the attention of the reader
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When used in narrative or poetry (not in direct speech), the demonstrative particles functions to direct the attention of the
+person reading the text. This function of the demonstrative particle often directs the attention of the reader to a scene that
+a person within the narrative is observing at that moment (see GEN 1:31 and GEN 8:13 below).
+
+.. csv-table:: Example: ISA 40:10

+  הִנֵּ֤ה שְׂכָרֹו֙ אִתֹּ֔ו
+  **hinneh** sekharow 'ittow
+  **Look** his-reward with-him
+  "**See**, his reward is with him"

+  insert transliteration
+  And-he-saw God [dir.obj]\_all\_that he-made **and-behold** \_good very
+  God saw everything that he had made. **Behold,** it was very good.
