SIBI-P1 Translation PFX-L-02
to them (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל (lamed, "to/for") + 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix; HR/Sp3mp. Functions as an indirect object, marker of direction, possession, or advantage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition ל ("to/for") prefixed to the third-person masculine plural pronominal suffix הם ("them"). The rendering preserves the directional sense of ל and explicitly reflects the masculine plural person and number indicated by Sp3mp. |
SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
about them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context requires rendering לָהֶם as 'about them', giving proper sense of ‘concerning them’ in connection to the dreams Yosef dreamed concerning his brothers. There is no P1 rendering present, so supplied context-appropriate translation. |
