Gesenius/Kautzsch ( in par. 135p ) explains:
>> The suffix of the third person singular feminine sometimes refers in a
general sense to the verbal idea contained in a preceding sentence
(corresponding to our 'it' ); thus the verbal suffix Gn 15:6; Nu 23:19; 1
Sa 11:2; 1 K 11:12; Is. 30:8; Am 8:10 <<
Incidentally, he goes on to point out, and give examples, where the same
suffix refers to the plurals of things, and to the plurals of the names of
animals.
