SIBI-P1 Translation H5647-68
and you worked
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential perfect (vav-consecutive) verb, 2nd person masculine singular from עבד. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses simple active action of working or serving. The sequential perfect (vav-consecutive) 2nd person masculine singular conveys completed action in sequence, hence "and you worked," preserving both the root sense of labor/service and the masculine singular form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and you will work
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context requires the same future tense as the preceding verb; 'and you worked' (past) was incorrect. Corrected to 'and you will work' to match the verse's prophetic or future sense. |
