you vow
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 2nd person masculine singular verb. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
than you vow
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'you vow' lacks the comparative/min interpretive nuance imparted by the prepositional prefix מִ/שֶׁ. In this context, it means 'than you vow' (literally 'from that you vow'), supporting a comparison between not vowing and vowing. Adjusted rendering accordingly. |
