SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
hundred of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "hundred". Hebrew has בֶּן מֵאָה שָׁנָה (“ben meʾah shanah”) = “son of a hundred years.” The standard “hundred of” preserves the genitive/construct relation and matches the chosen consistent rendering for this form. The current bare “hundred” is a stylistic omission, not required by the verse context, so standardize. |
