SIBI-P1 Translation H7760-86
and you (masculine plural) will set/place
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Qal; sequential perfect (vav-consecutive); 2nd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem preserves the simple active sense "to set/place." The 2nd person masculine plural sequential perfect conveys "and you (mp) will set/place," maintaining both person, number, and the prefixed conjunction. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and you (masculine plural) will set
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "and you will put". The Hebrew verb is second-person masculine plural and should be marked as such. The standard rendering ('and you (masculine plural) will set') accurately reflects the number/gender and meaning in context; the current 'and you will put' omits the plural/gender marking and is merely a stylistic variant, so it should be standardized. |
