Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew הֵמָּה (hēmāh)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Aramaic and Greek pronouns, the Greek equivalent for "they" in the New Testament is often expressed with the pronoun αὐτοί (autoi) or similar forms, depending on the case and number. These Greek pronouns serve a similar function in referring to a group of people or things.

Usage: This Aramaic pronoun is used to refer to a group of people or things, typically translated as "they" in English. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: • The pronoun הִמּוֹ (himmô) is an Aramaic term used in the biblical texts to denote a third-person plural subject. It is equivalent to the Hebrew pronoun הֵמָּה (hēmāh), which also means "they." This term is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, which include parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. These sections are written in Aramaic due to the historical context in which the Jewish people were under the influence of the Babylonian and Persian empires, where Aramaic was a common language.
• In the book of Daniel, for example, the use of Aramaic reflects the setting of the narrative in the Babylonian and Persian courts. The pronoun הִמּוֹ is used to refer to groups of people, such as the wise men of Babylon or the Jewish exiles. Its usage is consistent with the narrative style and linguistic characteristics of the time.
• The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates הִמּוֹ as "they," maintaining the pronoun's function as a reference to a collective group. This translation choice aligns with the traditional understanding of the text and its context.
