they themselves (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; third person masculine plural (HPp3mp). הֵמָּה is the prolonged/emphatic form of הֵם and is used for emphasis, contrast, or distinction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הֵמָּה is the emphatic third-person masculine plural independent pronoun. Rendering it as "they themselves (masculine plural)" preserves both the masculine plural morphology (HPp3mp) and the emphatic force often conveyed by this fuller form. |
