| Conceptual Significance | This form frequently marks the recipients of divine action, command, promise, or judgment. By specifying a masculine plural group, it often refers to collective entities such as the sons of Israel, the nations, or other defined male groups within covenantal and narrative contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (lamed, "to/for") + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; HR/Sp3mp. Functions as an indirect object, marker of direction, possession, or advantage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") prefixed to the third-person masculine plural pronominal suffix הם ("them"). The rendering preserves the directional sense of ל and explicitly reflects the masculine plural person and number indicated by Sp3mp. |
