SIBI-P1 Translation H6381-27
he will cause wonder
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular verb; causative action expressed in incomplete/future aspect. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem gives a causative sense to the root פלא, meaning to cause something to be extraordinary or wondrous. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is rendered as "he will cause wonder," preserving both the causative force and singular masculine subject. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
sets apart
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In this context, יַפְלִא֙ refers to someone consecrating or distinguishing themselves, not causing wonder. 'Sets apart' fits the Nazirite terminology and SILEX semantic range. P1 'he will cause wonder' is contextually incorrect. |
