SIBI-P1 Translation H3045-71
you (masculine plural) will know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 2nd person masculine plural denotes a simple active action of knowing performed by a masculine plural subject. "Will know" preserves the imperfective aspect without adding contextual nuance, and explicitly marks the masculine plural audience. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you will know
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'you (masculine plural) will know' to 'you will know.' The masculine plural nuance is implicit and does not need to be rendered in English; 'you will know' suffices and is idiomatic for the audience addressed. |
