SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-62
you will lift
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2ms form denotes a simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject. "You will lift" preserves the root sense of raising or bearing while reflecting the second masculine singular imperfect morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
desire
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The root נָשָׂא in this idiomatic construction means 'to desire' (as in bear desire, set the heart on) rather than the literal 'lift.' 'Desire' fits the context of warning against yearning for the son's death. P1's 'you will lift' is not contextually correct here. |
| P1 Flag | wrong meaning/context (should be 'desire', not 'you will lift') |
