The Aramaic third-person plural pronoun 'they' or 'those,' used to identify groups or refer back to previously mentioned subjects. Daniel and Ezra employ this pronoun in contexts of royal decree, prophetic vision, and administrative inquiry. The demonstrative force ('those') can emphasize specific identification—'those kings,' 'those men.' Like other Aramaic grammatical elements in Scripture, this pronoun reflects the multilingual reality of the exilic and post-exilic periods, when God's people lived under empires that spoke Aramaic.
