SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

mighty one

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 ('toward') is incorrect; this is the noun 'el' meaning 'mighty one' or 'god' in context. P2 corrects the rendering to match the Hebrew root and Strong's definition.
P1 FlagP1 error: wrong sense—used prepositional value 'toward' rather than the noun 'mighty one' or 'god'.
