you placed trust
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), perfect, 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys a causative sense—causing something to be firm or reliable—so in relational extension it means to regard as firm or to place confidence in. The perfect 2nd person masculine plural form is reflected in "you placed trust." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'you placed trust' is awkward for the standard Hebrew meaning. 'You trusted' more naturally fits the expected English and matches the root and form in context. |
