SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

my people

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleContext refers to the nation Israel collectively, not simply 'gathered.' 'My people' is faithful to the Hebrew and better fits the context than 'my gathered-people.' Correction needed as 'gathered' is not explicit in the Hebrew root.
