SIBI-P1 Translation H7235-05
cause to multiply
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hiphil (causative) stem; infinitive absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative force, shifting the root sense from becoming many to making something many. As an infinitive absolute, it expresses the verbal idea in its intensified or pure form, hence "cause to multiply." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
greatly
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Cause to multiply' (P1) is incorrect here; in this adverbial form after 'he shed,' it intensifies the action and should be 'greatly'. |
