SIBI-P1 Translation H2719-11
by the destroying blade
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“by/with”) + feminine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֶרֶב denotes a bladed instrument of destruction derived from the root חרב (to lay waste, destroy). The prefixed בְּ marks instrumentality (“by/with”), and the feminine singular absolute form is preserved with a singular rendering. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
by the sword
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'by the destroying blade' is too interpretive; the common sense and context demand the standard 'by the sword' for חֶרֶב. This is also more faithful to the lexical range. |
