they will be consumed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive/reflexive), imperfect, 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive sense of the root "to eat/consume," yielding "be consumed" or "be devoured." The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form indicates an incomplete or future action affecting "they." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they will be eaten
| Same as P1 | Yes |
| Rationale | Standardized from "they will be consumed". The Hebrew uses the common verb יֵאָכֵלוּ (‘to be eaten’) with no special nuance requiring a different verb. “Consumed” is merely a stylistic synonym; to maintain consistency with the chosen standard rendering, change this occurrence to “they will be eaten.” (Ensure the verse’s negation is preserved: “they shall not be eaten.”) |
