SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-19
he lifted
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, perfect (suffix conjugation), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root נשׂא, whose primary meaning is to lift or carry. The perfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered "he lifted," reflecting completed action by a masculine singular subject. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he lifted
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "has lifted up". The Hebrew uses the narrative wayyiqtol (past) form for 'lift up his hand,' so the simple past 'he lifted' matches tense and narrative flow. 'Has lifted up' (present perfect) is unnecessary and would break consistency with the standard rendering. |
