SIBI-P1 Translation H8566-02

they will give

Morphological NotesVerb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural.
Rendering RationaleThe Qal stem preserves the simple active sense of the root נתן, "to give." The imperfect 3rd person masculine plural form conveys an incomplete or future action performed by "they," hence "they will give."

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

they will offer

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
Rationale'They will give' is too generic; context and SILEX emphasize the nuance of paying/hiring, so 'they will offer' better fits the context of inducement or payment among nations.
