SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

he lifted

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleStandardized from "he lifted up". The Hebrew וַיָּשֶׂא is adequately and accurately rendered as “he lifted.” Adding “up” is a redundant English particle here and does not convey any unique sense required by the context. Use the standard rendering for consistency.
