SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and they stood
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and they rose up' is less contextually precise. In this passage, the force is 'be established' or 'stand' referring to the vows remaining in effect. 'And they stood' better fits the legal context per SILEX definition. |
