SIBI-P1 Translation PFX-B-11
among you (masculine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in/among") with 2nd person masculine plural pronominal suffix כֶם; inseparable preposition with attached suffix (HR/Sp2mp). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition ב conveys location or presence within a group or space, here expressing position "among" or "within." The suffix כֶם marks second person masculine plural, so the rendering reflects direct address to a group of males or a mixed group grammatically treated as masculine plural. |

against you
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context, 'בכם' is best rendered 'against you' rather than 'among you,' as it represents direct action toward the audience. P1 is blank. |
