SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you will lift
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "you lift up". The Hebrew uses תִּשָּׂא (imperfect) in the negative-purpose construction לְבִלְתִּי, which carries the future/subjunctive sense (“that you not lift/will lift”). The standard “you will lift” better reflects the verb’s aspect and intention here; “you lift up” is a simple present and is less precise. |
