SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and in his house
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'And in his built-house' in P1 is incorrect; 'beito' is simply 'his house' (possessive), not 'built-house' — no such nuance here. The context is contrastive between 'house of Yahweh' and 'his house'. |
