Know! (feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperative, 2nd person feminine singular. |

The rendering preserves the core sense of experiential or perceptual knowledge inherent in ידע while reflecting the feminine singular imperative morphology. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
Acknowledge (feminine singular)
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context calls for recognizing or admitting guilt, not simply knowing. 'Acknowledge' matches the imperative call to admit wrongdoing directed at a feminine subject; adjusted from 'Know!' for context. |
