  And his sun was eclipsed when the darkness of their opinions gathered and was sealed, so they do not see it.

  وَكَسَفَتْ — and was eclipsed. The wa- is the chaining 'and'. The past-tense verb wears the feminine -at ending to agree with its subject, the sun named just after it, which is feminine in Arabic. As often happens, the verb commits to an agreement before its subject is even spoken.
