SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and misleading
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and banishment-causers' is very literal but obscure in English. SILEX supports 'misleading'—that which causes one to stray or be banished fits the context of misguided prophetic oracles. 'And misleading' is also the common gloss and clearly conveys the sense. |
