And of course, why?

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and **he** counted it to him
for righteousness.

I'm interested too, since I looked it up and the afformative suffix looks to be feminine. The only other feminine word in this brief sentence seems to be the one for "righteousness"--curious.

Peace,
