SIBI-P1 Translation H5927-82
ascending offerings
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural absolute noun derived from the root עלה, indicating multiple items characterized by ascent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֹלֹת is the feminine plural of עֹלָה, literally "that which goes up," derived from עלה (to ascend). "Ascending offerings" preserves the root idea of upward movement while reflecting the plural feminine noun form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
coming up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'ascending offerings' is incorrect in context; here the verb refers to 'ears of grain' coming up, not offerings. 'Coming up' correctly captures the intransitive, participial sense of עֹלוֹת with reference to plants. Genuine lexical/contextual error in P1. |
