SIBI-P1 Translation H6186-23
and she arranged
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root ערך, meaning to arrange or set in order. The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) 3rd feminine singular form is rendered as a past narrative action, preserving the feminine singular subject. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and drew up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and she arranged' is not appropriate in this military context, where the verb refers to armies drawing up in battle formation. 'And drew up' matches the context and is consistent with the usage of H6186 regarding military arrangement. |
