يَحْتَاجُ requires
This present-tense verb carries its subject ('it') inside the word and pairs with the preposition coming next to mean 'have need OF'. Arabic expresses 'need something' not with a bare object but through this verb-plus-preposition team, so the two must be read together.

يَحْتَاجُ he needs
A present-tense verb whose 'ya-' prefix supplies a third-person 'it' subject built into the form. It pairs with a 'to/toward' preposition plus pronoun to mean 'has need of it', so the construction, not the bare verb, carries the full sense of needing.

يَحْتَاجُ requires
A present-tense verb ('requires') with its 'it' subject built into the prefix; the subject is the action-noun 'raising it' from earlier in the sentence. It is the main predicate, stating what that raising demands.
