Exegesis
The pronoun hi {הִוא | hîʾ} ‘it’ refers first to kesuto {כְּסוּתוֹ | kə-sû-tô} ‘garment’ and then to simlato {שִׂמְלָתוֹ | sîm-lâ-tô} ‘cloak’, with levadah {לְבַדָּהּ | lə-va-dāh} ‘alone to it’ underscoring exclusivity.
In context — Exodus 22:27
For it is his only covering; it is his cloak for his skin—what else will he sleep in? And it shall be that when he cries out to Me , I will hear, for I am gracious .
