SIBI-P1 Translation H5771-02
her guilt
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, singular, construct state + 3rd feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עָוֺן denotes wrongdoing understood as a distortion from what is straight, and by extension the state of guilt or liability that results. The construct form with a 3rd feminine singular suffix requires the rendering "her guilt," preserving both number and pronominal attachment. |

her iniquity
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Her iniquity' is a more accurate and standard rendering in biblical context, and it aligns with both the common and silex_definition. 'Her guilt' is too narrow. |
