SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-115
and he was lifted
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem gives a passive/reflexive sense of the root נשא, so the action is "to be lifted" or "to be borne." The sequential perfect with prefixed וְ marks a narrative "and," and 3ms preserves "he was lifted." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and he will lift
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('and he was lifted') misrepresents the verb's voice/tense; this is a future indicative, not a passive. Adjusted to correct aspect and sense. |
