יוֹרֶֽא
𐤉𐤅𐤓𐤀
yârâh
shall be watered
To throw, cast, or shoot—primarily an arrow or projectile; by extension, to point or direct, and in a metaphorical sense, to teach, instruct, or give guidance. Used both of concrete physical action (shooting arrows, casting lots, throwing stones) and of indicating, explaining, or instructing in law, ritual, or custom. The teaching sense arises from the idea of clearly pointing out a direction or instruction.

he will be shot
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hophal (causative-passive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hophal stem marks a causative-passive form, indicating that the subject receives the action of the root. With ירה meaning to throw or shoot, the Hophal imperfect 3ms is best rendered as a passive future: "he will be shot." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
will be watered
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'He will be shot' is a genuine lexical error; the root meaning in context is to water or be watered, not to shoot. The correct rendering is 'will be watered', matching the proverb's metaphor. P1 mapped to the wrong meaning of H3384 here. |
| P1 Flag | wrong sense H3384; should be watered, not shot |
