SIBI-P1 Translation H5375-138
they will lift up
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine plural denotes a simple active action performed by "they" in an incomplete or future sense. "They will lift up" preserves the core physical sense of the root נשׂא while allowing its broader metaphorical extensions. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they will lift up
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "they will bear". The Hebrew verb is יִשָּׂאוּ (from נשׂא, ‘to lift, carry’). Rendering it as “they will lift up” matches the chosen standard for this word-form and is not misleading here. The context does not require the idiomatic English “bear” as a different meaning; using the standard preserves consistency across the translation. |
