SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and will rise
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted tense to future to match context (parallel to previous imperfects); the Hebrew 'vav consecutive + imperfect' is standardly future in translation here; also drops the explicit subject 'he' for direct verbal rendering as in Hebrew. |
