and they themselves
| Root | הם (h-m) |
| Core Meanings | third-person masculine plural identity, emphasis, distinction, self-reference |
| Semantic Range | they, them, those, these, the same, even they, they themselves (often emphatic or contrastive) |
| Conceptual Significance | This pronoun frequently marks emphasis or distinction in biblical narrative and discourse, highlighting a specific group in contrast to others. It can underscore covenant identity, responsibility, or separation, drawing attention to the actors within YHWH’s redemptive history. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ + independent personal pronoun, 3rd person masculine plural (HC/Pp3mp). Used as an emphatic standalone subject or for contrast. Masculine plural in grammatical gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a conjunction וְ ("and") attached to the independent personal pronoun הֵם/הֵמָּה, third person masculine plural. Because this pronoun is often used for emphasis, "they themselves" preserves both the masculine plural reference and the emphatic force inherent in the Hebrew form. |
