כֹּה demonstrative adverb thus, here (Biblical Aramaic כָּה; ᵑ6 ᵑ7,:Jerusalem, Mandean כָּא here: in Syriac with prefixes hither, (ᵑ6:Jerusalem ) hence, where? compare אֵיכָה, p. 32, and Köii. 1, 252) —
1 of manner, thus (so most frequently, and usually pointing to what is to follow, while כֵּן points commonly to what has preceded), Genesis 15:5 זרעך יהיה כה thus shall thy seed be, Numbers 6:23; 1 Kings 2:30 עָנָנִי וְכֹה יוֺאָב דִבֶּר כֹּה, 1 Kings 5:25; Isaiah 24:13 (answered by בְּ, as Jeremiah 23:29); with a substantive Isaiah 20:6 מַבָּטֵנוּ כֹה הִנֵּה, Jeremiah 9:21 (si vera lectio), 23:29; 1 Samuel 27:11. Mostly confined to particular phrases: thus
a. with different forms of תאמר כה אמר, thus shalt thou say Exodus 3:14-15, 19:3; 20:22 etc.; especially יי֞ אמר כה thus saith (or said) ׳י 4:22; 5:1; 7:17; Exodus 7:26; 8:16 etc.; and continually in the prophets, as Isaiah 7:7; 8:11; 18:4 etc.; Jeremiah 2:2, 5; 4:27; 6:16 etc.; also in the idiomatic formula יאֹמַר כֹּה אִם if he say (or used to say) (the words spoken following) Genesis 31:8; 1 Samuel 14:9-10, 20:7; 2 Samuel 15:26.
b. with עשׂה to do thus, Exodus 5:15; Deuteronomy 7:5; pointing back, Numbers 22:30; Joshua 6:14; 1 Samuel 27:11 and elsewhere; especially in the phrase יוסיף וכה אלהים יעשׂה כה (with variations), 3:17 + (see יסף), in which כֹּה points to an imprecation understood but not expressed. With בְּ prefixed 1 Kings 22:20 בְּכֹה אמר וזה בְּכֹה זה ויאמר and one spake in this wise, and another spake in that wise ("" 2 Chronicles 18:19 כָכָהכָּ֗֗֗כָה; probably rightly).
2 of place, here (rare, chiefly in E), Genesis 31:37 כֹּה שִׂים place it here before my brethren, Numbers 23:15 (twice in verse); 2 Samuel 18:30; Ruth 2:8. Repeated, Exodus 2:12 וָכֹה כֹּה וַיִּפֶן and he turned this way and that way; כֹּהכֹּ֗֗֗ה on this side . . . on that side Numbers 11:31. With עַד Genesis 22:5 and we will go עַדכֹּֿה as far as here (δεικτικῶς) i.e. yonder.
3 of time, כֹּה עַד hitherto, Exodus 7:16 (compare עַדהֵֿנָּה), Joshua 17:14; וְעַדכֹּֿה עַדכֹּֿה till now and till then, i.e. meanwhile, 1 Kings 18:45.
כָּה adverb here (Biblical Hebrew כֹּה; ᵑ7 Mandean כָּא; Christian-Palestinian Aramaic ; Syriac with prefixes, as hither, where?); — Daniel 7:28 דִימִֿלְּתָא סוֺפָא עָדכָּֿה hitherto (compare Jeremiah 48:47; 51:64) is the end of the matter.
