Third-person plural grammatical reference · dominant
Most occurrences are tagged as personal, third-person, masculine plural forms. In Daniel 2:34 the APB renders the image's feet being struck and “them” crushed, while Daniel 2:35 describes several materials crushed together and carried away; in Ezra 4:23 the clause reports that “they went in haste” and caused the Judahites to cease. Ezra 5:11 has a differing tag, “Particle · Affirmation,” and the APB's wording does not make that form's specific contribution clear.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents plural participants or objects in several clauses, including “them” in Daniel 2:34 and “they” in Ezra 4:23. It does not consistently identify a distinct English rendering for the form, especially in Ezra 5:11.
