| Morphological Notes | Comparative preposition כְּמוֹ with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ("-hem"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle כ expresses comparison or resemblance, and the attached 3rd person masculine plural suffix "-hem" specifies the object of comparison as "them." The rendering preserves both the comparative force and the plural masculine pronominal morphology. |
