and they themselves
| Root | הם (h-m) |
| Core Meanings | third-person plurality, identity, distinction, demonstrative emphasis |
| Semantic Range | they, them, those, these, the same, such ones, themselves (emphatic) |
| Conceptual Significance | The independent pronoun הֵם often signals emphasis, contrast, or distinction in the biblical text, highlighting a specific group as set apart, responsible, or uniquely identified within a narrative or covenantal context. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + independent personal pronoun, 3rd person masculine plural (HC/Pp3mp). Used in emphatic or contrastive contexts rather than as a simple suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the conjunction ו ("and") with the independent masculine plural pronoun הֵם. The addition of "themselves" reflects the emphatic use of this 3rd person masculine plural form, preserving both its plurality and its marked emphasis in the Hebrew. |
