SIBI-P1 Translation H398-73
she will be consumed
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (passive), imperfect, 3rd person feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive sense, so the root idea of eating/consuming becomes "be consumed." The imperfect 3rd feminine singular form is rendered as "she will be consumed," preserving both passive voice and feminine singular morphology. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
it will be eaten
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "it shall be eaten". The Hebrew pronoun is a feminine suffix referring back to the remainder (שְׁאִירִיתָהּ). Rendering it as “she will be eaten” follows the chosen standard mapping of the feminine suffix and does not change the sense of the verse. Using “it shall be eaten” is merely an English stylistic alternative, not a required correction for accuracy, so the standard rendering should be applied for consistency. |
