Is החטיאו masculine or feminine?

If this is a perfect verb with a 3rd plural ending, it is either one -- masculine or feminine. The typical way to describe it is as a Third Person Common Plural. A context would help here such as a reference or a phrase at the least. It could be a Hiphil Perfect 3CP of חטא "to sin."
