SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he devised her
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context, the verb is best rendered as 'he devised her' to indicate intentional planning ('purposed') rather than generic 'counseled her'; SILEX supports formulation and planning, matching the force of divine intentionality in context. |
