הֵ֫מָּה and הֵם (without appreciable distinction in usage, except probably in so far as the longer or shorter from was better adapted to the rhythm of particular sentences: on the whole הֵמָּה (alone) is somewhat more frequently than הֵם, הָהֵם on the contrary is said regularly, הָהֵמָּה occurring only 12 t., namely 4 Mos 9,7 (P), Jer 14,15; Zak 14,15, and in the phrase בַּ(הַ)מִָים הָהֵמָּה 2 Kong 18,4; Jer 3,16; Jer 3,18; Jer 5,18; Jer 50,4; Joel 3,2; Joel 4,1; Zak 8,23; Neh 13,15, though בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם is much more common) pronoun 3 plural masculine (הֵמָּה used incorrectly for the feminine Zak 5,10; Rut 1,22; Hoj 6,8), feminine הֵ֫נָּה [Late Hebrew also הֵן, which occurs however in Biblical Hebrew only after a prefix: see below 8], pronoun 3 plural they (Biblical Aramaic הִמּוֺ, q. v.; , ; Ethiopic (one form) 'em¥n-t¥, em¹n-t¥; compare also for the dissyllabic form, the suffix -œm¥ [feminine -œn]; perhaps also Assyrian suffix šunu, šina [ni], compare references below הוּא).

[Note]

N.B. — Ezk 8,6 Kt מָהֵם stands for מָה הֵם (so Qr), compare מַזֶּה for מַהזֶּֿה 2 Mos 4,2; 2 Kong 9,18 עַדהֵֿם is irregular for עֲדֵיהֶם; 2 Sam 4,6 ׳וְהֵנָּה וג is textual error for ׳וְהִנֵּה שֹׁעֶרֶת הַבַּיִת סֹקְלָה חִטִּים וג see We Dr (ᵐ5 & RVm).
