and they themselves

Rootהם (h-m)
Core Meaningsthird-person masculine plural identity, emphasis, distinction, self-reference
Semantic Rangethey, them, those, these, the same, even they, they themselves (often emphatic or contrastive)
Conceptual SignificanceThis 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 NotesConjunction 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 RationaleThe 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.
