Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me who or what is understood to be embodied from her and she in the following excerpt of an essay about the Hebrews 3.
In Hebrews 3:12, the apostle Paul reports of Israel's "evil heart of unbelief," the fountain, the source, that gave birth to her irrational, erratic, unreliable spiritual and moral behavior. She could not be trusted to remain firm to her commitment to be faithful in keeping the commandments and thus God's way of life. Had the making of the covenant been a literal marriage between two humans, her conduct would have been as God called it, harlotry. However, this was an agreement between a holy, spiritual God and the human nation He chose.
I make a guess that yours answer will be "the Israel's nation". In that case why it's used her an she?
Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Regards.
