    The supplied morphology consistently identifies the form as a demonstrative pronoun. In 1 Chronicles 2:1 the APB renders a list of Israel's sons as “These are,” while 1 Chronicles 25:6 gathers named musicians as “All these”; in 1 Chronicles 11:19 it points both to the men whose blood is mentioned and to the deeds of the three mighty men. In 1 Chronicles 21:17, the clause distinguishes the people called “these sheep” from David himself.

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB commonly reflects the demonstrative with “these,” “these are,” or “all these,” especially in lists and summary statements. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, individual English renderings only indicate the clause-level presentation.
