SIBI-P1 Translation H7368-28
he will become distant
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular; simple active, intransitive sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3ms form expresses a simple, active action in the future or incomplete aspect. "He will become distant" preserves the intransitive Qal sense of becoming far or moving away while reflecting third person masculine singular morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
becomes distant
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context, referring to the place, 'becomes distant' naturalizes the intransitive verb for spatial distance rather than focusing on the masculine singular subject; removes pronoun for noun subject. |
