SIBI-P1 Translation H4264-21
and encampment-of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + common noun, singular, construct state; gender both (treated as singular construct). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַחֲנֶה denotes the result or place of encamping—an organized camp. The construct singular form requires a following complement, so "encampment-of" preserves the bound relationship, with the prefixed ו rendered as "and." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and camp of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P2 renders 'and camp of' instead of 'and encampment-of' for smoother, standard English; both are accurate, but 'camp' matches the usual sense and doesn't add unnecessary interpretive nuance. |
