It is often translated as "himself," "herself," "itself," or "themselves" in English. This pronoun emphasizes the action being directed back upon the subject, highlighting self-involvement or self-reference.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language during the time of the New Testament, reflexive pronouns like ἑαυτοῦ were used to provide clarity and emphasis in communication. The use of reflexive pronouns was important in Greek to distinguish actions performed by the subject upon themselves, which is a nuance that might not always be clear in English translations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/greek/1438.htm">heautou</a><br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>each other (1), himself (2), home (1), homes (1), themselves (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 848: αὑτοῦ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αὑτοῦ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">αὑτῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">αὑτοῦ</span>, <span class="accented">of himself, herself, itself,</span> equivalent to <span class="greek2">ἑαυττου</span>, which see It is very common in the editions of the N.

Bleek entertains the same opinion and sets it forth at length in his note on <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a>, vol. ii. 1, p. 67ff The question is hard to decide, not only because the breathings and accents are lacking in the oldest manuscripts, but also because it often depends upon the mere preference of the writer or speaker whether he will speak in his own person, or according to the thought of the person spoken of.
