SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-46
bearing-ones of
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine plural, construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine plural construct denotes "those who are lifting/bearing" in an active, ongoing sense. "Bearing-ones of" preserves the participial force, masculine plural form, and construct relationship while keeping the core root idea of lifting/carrying. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
lifting-ones of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "bearers of". The Hebrew participle נוֹשֵׂא (nōśê) properly renders as ‘lifting-ones’ in the chosen SIBI style. ‘Bearers of’ is not inaccurate, but it is a stylistic variant. The context does not require a different meaning, so change to the standard for consistency. |
