Strong's Lexicon hem: they, them Original Word: הֵם Word Origin: A primitive pronoun in Hebrew Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "they" or "them" is often "αὐτοί" (autoi) or "αὐτούς" (autous), which are used similarly in the New Testament to refer to groups of people or things. Usage: The Hebrew pronoun "הֵם" (hem) is used to refer to a group of people or things, typically in the third person plural. It functions similarly to the English pronouns "they" or "them." It is often used in narrative and dialogue to refer to previously mentioned subjects or objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, pronouns like "הֵם" were essential for storytelling and communication, allowing speakers and writers to refer back to subjects without repeating names or nouns. This pronoun is found throughout the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the communal and collective nature of ancient Israelite society, where groups and tribes were often addressed collectively.
