RULE
====
The words >THE< can be used in 4 ways
--THE can refer to a proper noun
--THE can refer to something that is mentioned nearby
eg Dt04-32c >Has anyone heard THE GREAT THING-that God
saved a nation enslaved in another nation with great miracles<
Thus the phrase >THE GREAT THING< refers to the verse that
follows >That God saved a nation enslaved in another nation<
--THE can refer to a concept, story or thing mentioned
ELSEWHERE (but not immediately afterwards)
eg Nu13-33a >We saw there THE Nefilim<
This refers to the NEFILLIM nation mentined in Gn06-04
--THE can refer to the best known of a class
eg Dt01-07e >THE Mount< -- This refers to The Kings Mountain
