then
A demonstrative adverb primarily indicating a specific point in time, usually past, meaning 'then' or 'at that time.' אָז functions to situate actions or events temporally in relation to a previously mentioned or implied context. In some constructions, it serves a logical or inferential function ('thus', 'thereupon'). Rarely, it may introduce a consequence or development, especially in poetic texts or parallelism.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
then
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'at that time' to 'then' because the context calls for a simple temporal marker connecting what comes after with preceding events, and the silex_definition confirms 'then' as the primary meaning. |
