SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
those who lift up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "those who supported". The Hebrew participle (נושאים) is properly rendered literally as “those who lift up / bear.” The context does not require a different nuance—“supported” is a paraphrase, not a necessary change. For consistency with the chosen standard for this word form, change to “those who lift up.” |
