Someone might be able to convince me that when Chumash was given, “Hu” and “Hi” didn’t necessarily correlate to “he” and “she”, respectively. Or, at least, that it was possible for there to be exceptions that made them more or less interchangeable. But words in Chumash are absolutely gendered. Whether we solidified and/or altered the rules later is a separate discussion. But the concept exists from Sinai.
