SIBI-P1 Translation PFX-B-05
in them (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Inseparable preposition ב with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (Sp3mp). Functions adverbially or prepositionally to indicate location, sphere, instrumentality, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the inseparable preposition ב (“in/within/by”) joined to the 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix ם (“them”). The rendering preserves the locative/instrumental force of ב and explicitly reflects the masculine plural referent indicated by the suffix. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
among them
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Though P1 is blank, 'bam' indicates 'among them' or 'with them' in context. Here, 'among them' is the best fit for the testing of Israel through the nations. |
