SIBI-P1 H1931-13

and she herself

Rootהוא (h-w-ʾ)
Core Meaningsthird-person identity, self-reference, personal designation, demonstrative emphasis
Semantic Rangeshe, she herself, that (feminine), the same (feminine), it (feminine noun), sometimes functioning as a copular or emphatic subject
Conceptual SignificanceThe independent pronoun הִיא is often used for emphasis, contrast, or clarification of identity in biblical narrative and discourse. Its explicit use can heighten focus on a female subject, marking distinction, covenantal identity, or narrative contrast within the text.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ (waw, "and") + independent personal pronoun, third person feminine singular (Pp3fs). The feminine form הִיא corresponds to the masculine הוּא and is used for explicit or emphatic reference.
Rendering RationaleThe form וְהִיא consists of the conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to the independent third-person feminine singular pronoun הִיא. Rendering it as "and she herself" preserves the explicit feminine singular reference (3fs) and reflects the emphatic force often carried by the independent pronoun in Hebrew.
