SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
gathering chest
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 gives 'gathering chest of', but because the following word is a proper noun and the noun is in construct, here it should be just 'gathering chest' in agreement with Hebrew grammar, not 'of'. 'Of' is handled by the construct relationship to the next word. |
