and will rest
To stretch oneself out, lie down, or crouch, especially in a recumbent posture as of an animal. The verb denotes the act of lying (often on the ground) for rest, sleep, or quiet, and is frequently used for animals lying in their natural manner, but also for people and metaphorically for land or objects. It can also convey the sense of taking a position of repose, dwelling, or even lurking (contextually rare). The verbal action may indicate restfulness, security, or waiting, often drawing on agricultural or pastoral imagery.

SIBI-P1 Translation H7257-14
and she lay down
| Morphological Notes | Qal sequential perfect (vav-consecutive), 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem conveys the simple active action of assuming a recumbent posture. The 3rd feminine singular form is preserved with "she," and the vav-consecutive is reflected with "and," yielding a direct rendering of the root action. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and she will lie down
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context, verb tense matches the future narrative: 'and she will lie down.' SIBI-P1 'and she lay down' (past) is incorrect for the Hebrew imperfect. |
