these ones
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; common gender; plural; independent or adjectival use. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
these ones
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "these things". The Hebrew demonstrative here is the regular plural (’eleh) and does not require a special idiom. The standard SIBI rendering “these ones” accurately and consistently reflects the original demonstrative. Rendering as “these things” is a stylistic choice, not a requirement of the context, so standardize for consistency. |
