SIBI-P1 Translation H5414-169
he will give
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root נתן, "to give/place." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form indicates an incomplete or future action by a masculine singular subject, hence "he will give." |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
let him give
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he will give' is context-free and does not capture the jussive/volitional sense appropriate in this imperative exhortation; 'let him give' is the correct context-driven rendering, matching English idiom for the Hebrew jussive. |
