SIBI-P1 Translation H4672-67
you will find him
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2ms form conveys a simple active action performed by a masculine singular subject, here directed toward a 3ms object marked by the suffix. "You will find him" preserves the root sense of encountering or coming upon and reflects both person and object suffix. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you will find it
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'you will find him' misgenders the object; the suffix refers to 'bread' (which is grammatically masculine but functions as 'it' in English). 'You will find it' is contextually correct. |
