Shlama Akhi Dave,

Didn't you read the part of my post where I said:

Paul Younan Wrote:In Aramaic, articles like "that" (and many other components of grammar, i.e. verbs and adjectives) must agree in gender (and number) with their noun counterparts.

In Acts 1:4, there is no noun counterpart. The word "haw" is not followed by the word "spirit" - had it been, it would be an error in grammar to use the masculine "haw." That's why it's translated "He."

In Romans 8:16, there is a noun counterpart. The word "hay" is pointing directly to, and followed by, the word "spirit." That's why it's translated "that."

Can Romans 8:16 be translated "She Spirit?" Literally it can, sure - but would that make any sense to you in English? Doesn't "That Spirit" work much better for you?
