SIBI-P1 H1931-06

she herself

Rootהוא (h-w-ʾ)
Core Meaningsthird-person reference, identity, self-designation, demonstrative reference
Semantic Rangeshe, her, it (feminine), that (feminine), the same (feminine), herself; sometimes functions as a copula ("is/are") or as an emphatic marker.
Conceptual SignificanceThis pronoun often marks emphasis, identity, or contrast in biblical narrative and poetry, highlighting a specific feminine subject as distinct, selfsame, or uniquely identified within covenantal or theological contexts.
Morphological NotesIndependent personal pronoun; third person feminine singular (HPp3fs). Used for emphasis, distinction, or as a copular substitute; agrees in gender and number with a feminine singular referent.
Rendering RationaleThe form הִוא is the independent third-person feminine singular pronoun. Rendering it as "she herself" preserves its feminine singular reference (3fs) and reflects its frequent emphatic or self-identifying force beyond a simple copula.
