Asterismos

Figure of Speech Asterismos

The calling attention to by making a star or mark… A marking by “putting a star” (* or), in order to direct particular attention to a passage or statement. Hence the figure is used when we employ (not an asterisk) but some word, which answers the same purpose, in directing the eye and the heart to some particular point or subject, such as “Lo!” “Behold!” (Bullinger, p. 927)

Examples of words used like this are “behold,” also “verily” or “truly” and “yea.” The emphasis is to consider carefully what follows the asterismos. These verses are taken from the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation.
