SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you will lift
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "you will bear". The Hebrew verb (נָשָׂא) with חטאה/חטאתיכם in this context is best understood as ‘lift/take away’ (remove) sins, i.e. a petition that Yahweh remove iniquity and accept the people. Rendering it “you will bear” (carry/endure) would misrepresent the plea and read awkwardly in the syntax. The standard “you will lift” fits the grammar and sense and should be used for consistency. |
