Just curious, why does ayahs 56 and 70 starts with "fiihinna" , while the rest in this passage starts with "fiihimaa"? Does "hinna" and "hiimaa" refer to different objects?

According to Ibn Kathir in his Tafseer, the feminine plural pronoun (hinna) here (55:56:1) refers to furushin (beds, couches) in 55:54:3, and the same pronoun in 55:70:1 refers to khiyaam (pavilions) in 55:72:4; whereas fii hima refers to the "two gardens" mentioned earlier.

Other commentators however seem to view the "two gardens" as belonging to each of the blessed soul, and fiihinna therefore refers to all the gardens of paradise as a whole. Both interpretations seem to be equaly valid. And Allah knows best.
