in four
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ('in') + masculine singular absolute cardinal numeral אַרְבָּעָה ('four'). |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
on the four
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'in four' (P1) is incorrect in this calendrical context, which requires a prepositional 'on the' for the date; 'on the four' accurately matches the phrase's use in biblical dating formulas. |
