SIBI-P1 Translation H7971-96
they will send forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem (intensive/active), imperfect conjugation, 3rd person feminine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the core root meaning of deliberate sending or extending. The Piel stem intensifies the action as purposeful dispatch, and the imperfect 3rd feminine plural form is conveyed by "they will." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they cast out
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'they will send forth' is close, but P2 'they cast out' matches wider translation tradition and the context of animals expelling young in birth. Silex_definition supports both, but 'cast out' is contextually clearer here. |
