SIBI-P1 Translation H8252-02
in causing quiet
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Hiphil (causative) stem, infinitive construct with prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives the verb a causative sense, meaning to cause quiet or give rest rather than simply to be quiet. The prefixed בְּ marks it as an infinitive construct used prepositionally, hence "in causing quiet." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in quietness
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'in causing quiet' reflects the hiphil verbal sense but in this context, 'בְּהַשְׁקִט' describes the state of quietness or stillness. Adjusted to 'in quietness' to better reflect the contextual meaning without adding words. |
