SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and jars
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('and earthenware jars') is not incorrect, but since the same Hebrew word is immediately used again contextually and the vessel type is generic, 'jars' is sufficient to preserve one-to-one mapping and harmonize with subsequent translation. |
