SIBI-P1 Translation H1668-01
Know!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root ידע, and the imperative 2nd masculine singular form issues a direct command to a male individual to know or recognize. "Know!" preserves both the root’s core meaning and the imperative force. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
each
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'דָּֽא' at this position serves as a distributive demonstrative in context ('each' or 'these'), not 'Know!' as in P1, which is an error. 'Each' fits the distributive sense in Daniel 7:3. |
