 Hi, list.
When trying to literally translate infinitives with personal suffix (the
suffix playing the part of the subject of the infinitive) such as:

1. (A&OTO -------- Jr 30:24
2. (ALOTO -------- Is 11:16
3. LIDTAH ---------- Gn 38:27
4. RIDTAH --------- Dt 20:20
and so on...
a doubt arises  --as I'm not from an english speaking area--: must 'he' or
rather 'him' be used?  must 'she' or rather 'her' be used?

1. The act/fact of he to do <> the act/fact of him to do
 2. The act/fact of he to go up <> the act/fact of him to go up
 3. The act/fact of she to bring forth <> the act/fact of her to bring forth
 4. The act/fact of she to go down <> the act/fact of her to go
down.

The question would be the same for the plural: they versus them; we versus
us...

Which is for these instances the right form in English?
