he will redeem her
| Morphological Notes | Qal imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person feminine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3ms with 3fs suffix denotes a masculine singular subject who will perform the act of גאל toward a feminine singular object. "Redeem" preserves the root’s core sense of acting as a kinsman to restore or reclaim a relative’s rights or standing. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
he redeems it
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he will redeem her' incorrectly uses 'her'; the pronominal suffix here refers to the item being redeemed (neuter/it). Present simple tense corresponds with the legal instruction context. |
