hundred of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "a hundred". The Hebrew here uses the same numeral-construction as elsewhere (’meʾah’ + construct), so the standard ‘‘hundred of’’ accurately reflects the original and is not misleading. Using “a hundred” is a stylistic variant, not required by the grammar or context, so the verse should be standardized. |
