SIBI-P1 Translation H7130-22
his inward part
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct state (קֶרֶב) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix: "his." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶרֶב denotes the interior or innermost part—what is nearest within. In construct with the 3rd masculine singular suffix, it specifies possession, yielding "his inward part," preserving both the spatial-root idea of nearness and the singular masculine form. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
its innards
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'his inward part' mistranslates the pronominal suffix; context is the animal's entrails—'its innards' matches SILEX and common renderings for the sacrificial context. |
