HRH - Looks like a Verb once again in the Perfect. Supports HRH of 7:14 as also perfect.
It is not a verb. Two pieces of evidence for this:

1) This is not the correct form for a verb with a feminine subject, which would be /harata(h)/ as in Genesis 16:4,5, contrast Psalm 7:15 (7:14 in English) where the subject is masculine.

2) The regular construction after /hinne(h)/ is a verbless clause with an adjective or participle. I note that the verb HRH does not seem to have a regular participle, but the adjective /hara(h)/ (feminine form only attested) seems to function as its participle.
