SIBI-P1 Translation H5927-110
and he caused to ascend
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative), sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem marks causative action, so the subject causes something to go up rather than ascending himself. The sequential imperfect (wayyiqtol) with 3ms subject is rendered as a past narrative action: "and he caused to ascend." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he went up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and he caused to ascend' is accurate to the root, but in this context, it refers to Solomon's movement (not a causative act or sacrifice), so 'and he went up' better captures the narrative action. |
