SIBI-P1 Translation H2022-21
from the mountain
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ('from') + masculine singular construct noun הַר (mountain). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun הַר derives from the root הרר, denoting a high or elevated landform. The prefixed מֵ marks separation ('from'), and the masculine singular construct form preserves the sense of a single elevated height. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
from the hill country
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'from the mountain' is too specific; the context refers to a broader region (Ephraim's territory), matching the SILEX definition 'elevated regions.' 'Hill country' is the justified rendering in this context. |
