Exposition
Hay'tah (HYTH) is a past tense feminine form of of the infinitive LHYOT ("to be").
It means "she was", but is typically translated as "was", with the gender assumed based on the object that it is referring to.
Hebrew is a gender-based language, and so it is important that the verb gender matches the noun gender. There are some instances where the gender causes a problem in the traditional translation, and I will address that when these exception arise.
