SIBI-P1 H1992-14
and they themselves
| Root | הם (h-m) |
| Core Meanings | third-person reference, plurality, distinction, emphasis |
| Semantic Range | they, them, those (masculine plural); often with emphatic or contrastive nuance such as "they themselves" or "as for them." |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun frequently marks distinction between groups—Israel and the nations, the righteous and the wicked, or one party over against another—thereby reinforcing covenant identity, responsibility, or contrast within the narrative and prophetic discourse. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + independent personal pronoun, 3rd person masculine plural (Pp3mp). Used in emphatic or contrastive constructions rather than as a simple suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") attached to the independent personal pronoun הֵם, third person masculine plural. The rendering "and they themselves" preserves the masculine plural reference and reflects the emphatic force often carried by this independent pronoun in contrastive or highlighting contexts. |
