its males
Male; an individual or animal of the male sex. The term denotes sex and gender distinction in reference to humans, animals, and sometimes plants. It is primarily used in contexts where a distinction from 'female' (נְקֵבָה, neqēvāh) is required, often in genealogical lists, legal requirements (such as sacrificial prescriptions), and census enumerations. In later usage, also specifically designates male offspring or heirs.

SIBI-P1 Translation H2138-01
her male
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a male individual in distinction from a female. The masculine singular construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix requires the rendering "her male," preserving both number and possession. |
